Asbestos garage roof removal for Petersham properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Petersham and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are sheet garages and lean-to roofs.
In Petersham, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What it might be made of
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Step by step
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Late-December sunset in Petersham is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages due for demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Broken sheets after high winds
In Petersham, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get
- The method and controls
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Other services in Petersham
Duty holders and landlords in Petersham
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Petersham must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
- The category of work
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- An idea of size
- The access route
- A picture of the whole area
- Damaged areas
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
