About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sutton
Many garages built before 2000, in Sutton and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and garages being knocked down, including cement wall panels, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
In Sutton, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Sutton, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Which option is right?
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Sutton questions
Do older homes in Sutton have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sutton can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Sutton and the area around Sutton (London) station?
Yes. Sutton (London) station is close to the centre of Sutton, and we cover the whole area.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is my garage roof in Sutton 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.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
