Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Step by step
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in South Wimbledon is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports

Your questions about garage roof removal in South Wimbledon
Do older homes in South Wimbledon have asbestos?
If your home in South Wimbledon was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Wimbledon station?
Yes, we cover South Wimbledon, including the streets around Wimbledon station.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in South Wimbledon must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
After we’ve finished in South Wimbledon
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
