Asbestos garage roof removal near Tolworth
Asbestos garage roof removal in Tolworth
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and double garages, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In London neighbourhoods like Tolworth, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Questions from Tolworth
My garage in Tolworth has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Tolworth and the area around Tolworth station?
Yes. Tolworth station is about 0.5 miles south of Tolworth, and we cover both.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
