FAQs for Nunhead
Do older homes in Nunhead have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Nunhead may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Nunhead with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you cover Nunhead?
Yes, Nunhead is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
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.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Nunhead properties
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. From cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and concrete-panel garages, we deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
In parts of London like Nunhead, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

Garage roof removal in Nunhead is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
