Asbestos garage roof removal near South Norwood
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and garage blocks.
Garages around South Norwood are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We only recommend work that’s needed.

After we’ve finished in South Norwood
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

South Norwood questions
Could my house in South Norwood contain asbestos?
If your home in South Norwood was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Norwood Junction station?
Yes, we cover South Norwood, including the streets around Norwood Junction station.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
