About our asbestos garage roof removal in South Lambeth
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include double garages and storm-damaged sheets, including ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters.
In South Lambeth, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Options to consider in South Lambeth
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. 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.
Why choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- Across London and the South East
- Accredited laboratory results
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
See how we price jobs or our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What we deal with in South Lambeth
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Block garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Sheet garages
For rented homes with garages close to Vauxhall station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The method and controls
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Step by step

Helpful guides
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
FAQs for South Lambeth
Do you cover South Lambeth and the area around Vauxhall station?
Yes, we cover South Lambeth and the area towards Vauxhall station, about 0.6 miles north.
Could my house in South Lambeth contain asbestos?
Any home in South Lambeth built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
