Asbestos garage roof removal for Penge properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Penge. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From broken sheets after high winds and garage blocks, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In parts of London like Penge, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Duty holders and landlords in Penge
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What affects the price in Penge
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- How much waste there is
