Asbestos garage roof removal in Rowley Green
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets, including cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In parts of London like Rowley Green, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Rowley Green
Can you work in Rowley Green with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Are garage roofs in Rowley Green usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
For businesses and landlords in Rowley Green
If you run a business from older premises in Rowley Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:

- Travel and parking
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
You will get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
