About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sanderstead
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s block garages and carport roofs, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Sanderstead, 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.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Sanderstead
Do you cover Sanderstead and the area around Riddlesdown station?
Yes. Riddlesdown station is about 0.8 miles west of Sanderstead, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Sanderstead generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
