Asbestos garage roof removal for Tooting Bec
Asbestos garage roof removal in Tooting Bec
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. From garages before a new roof or conversion and concrete-panel garages, we cover cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Garages around Tooting Bec are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In December, it’s dark in Tooting Bec by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Questions from Tooting Bec
Could my house in Tooting Bec contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tooting Bec can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Tooting Bec with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

Can you help a business or landlord?
