About our asbestos garage roof removal in Selsdon
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Common materials are cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are carport roofs and block garages.
In Selsdon, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in Selsdon
Are garage roofs in Selsdon generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Selsdon and the area around Sanderstead station?
Yes. Sanderstead station is about 1.7 miles west of Selsdon, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
After we’ve finished in Selsdon
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Selsdon is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
