Asbestos garage roof removal near Strood Green
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Strood Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From lean-to roofs and concrete-panel garages, we cover bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters and more.
In areas like Strood Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Strood Green
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Surrey.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Single garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-tos and carports
Older houses in Strood Green, near Christ Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
