About our asbestos garage roof removal in St Luke's
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include block garages and garages due for demolition, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In parts of London like St Luke's, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in St Luke's, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials

Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
After we’ve finished in St Luke's
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once we are done:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What we deal with in St Luke's
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage blocks
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Sheet garages
- Carport roofs
In St Luke's, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the job needs notifying
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Accredited laboratory results
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Your questions about garage roof removal in St Luke's
Are garage roofs in St Luke's typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in St Luke's contain asbestos?
If your home in St Luke's 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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
