Asbestos garage roof removal in St Pancras
About our asbestos garage roof removal in St Pancras
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around St Pancras. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. From lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and ridge pieces and more.
In parts of London like St Pancras, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

What else we do in St Pancras
St Pancras questions
My garage in St Pancras has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in St Pancras with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Typical garage roof jobs in St Pancras
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-tos and carports
- Double garages
For rented homes with garages close to London Kings Cross station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the job needs notifying
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Options to consider in St Pancras
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
See our prices page and published price ranges.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in St Pancras by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let us know if something’s broken
