How we work
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Shirley by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any parking restrictions

Common questions in Shirley
Are garage roofs in Shirley typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Shirley with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you work in Shirley?
We do: Shirley is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
