Asbestos garage roof removal for Selhurst properties
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and garages due a new roof, including corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Selhurst, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Selhurst by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

FAQs for Selhurst
Do you work near Norwood Junction station?
Yes. Norwood Junction station is close to the centre of Selhurst, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Selhurst contain asbestos?
If your home in Selhurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
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.
Options to consider in Selhurst
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
How we work in Selhurst
- Across London and the South East
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Records for your files
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

DIY and asbestos
