Asbestos garage roof removal for Putney Vale properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s garage blocks and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In parts of London like Putney Vale, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Putney Vale
My garage in Putney Vale has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Putney Vale homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Putney Vale
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garage blocks
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A308, tell us about parking and access.
