Asbestos garage roof removal in Sutton Common
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and block garages, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and ridge pieces and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Sutton Common, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? 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. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
