Asbestos garage roof removal in Thorpe Green
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and garage blocks, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In areas like Thorpe Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Clear advice on your options
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- No removal until we know what it is
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
Read how we price jobs or the cost guide.

You’ll get a written quote. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Why people call us in Thorpe Green

Thorpe Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Thorpe Green from London?
We cover Thorpe Green, about 20 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Thorpe Green have asbestos?
If your home in Thorpe Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Limits to be aware of
