Helpful guides
What we deal with in Old Malden
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Properties near Tolworth Court Farm Fields may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Old Malden
Do you cover Old Malden from London?
Old Malden is about 11 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Old Malden normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
