DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in North Greenwich
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with downpipes, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and concrete-panel garages.
In parts of London like North Greenwich, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in North Greenwich were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.

Questions from North Greenwich
My garage in North Greenwich has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you work in North Greenwich with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work in North Greenwich?
Yes, we do: our area includes North Greenwich and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- Travel and parking
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
