Asbestos garage roof removal in Sturry
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include block garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Homes in towns and villages like Sturry often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Sturry
Do you cover Sturry from London?
Sturry is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Sturry have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sturry can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Is my garage roof in Sturry asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Your options compared
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Records for your files
- Waste paperwork for every removal
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For businesses and landlords in Sturry
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once we’re done:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
