Asbestos garage roof removal near North Lee
Asbestos garage roof removal in North Lee
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about block garages and lean-to roofs.
In areas like North Lee, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Reports and results you can share
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

North Lee: your questions answered
Could my house in North Lee contain asbestos?
Any home in North Lee built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover North Lee from London?
North Lee is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
