Asbestos garage roof removal in Streatham
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Streatham
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about sheet garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Garages around Streatham 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 follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What else we do in Streatham
DIY and asbestos
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts

Questions from Streatham
Do older homes in Streatham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Streatham with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
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 normally needed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
The scope of garage roof removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
