Asbestos garage roof removal in North Brixton
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about sheet garages and single and double garage roofs.
In parts of London like North Brixton, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in North Brixton
Do you work near Loughborough Junction station?
Yes. Loughborough Junction station is about 0.7 miles south-east of North Brixton, and we cover both.
My garage in North Brixton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in North Brixton were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Block garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Sheet garages
- Garages due a new roof
If you let a house with a garage near Loughborough Junction station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

- VAT, clearly stated
- The method and controls
- Suitable insurance for the work

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
