Asbestos help in Walham Green
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Walham Green properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about carport roofs and double garages.
Garages around Walham Green are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

What we deal with in Walham Green
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages due a new roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
For rented homes with garages close to Imperial Wharf station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Any exclusions
- The scope of the job, in writing
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:

Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- A clear close-up
- The parking area
- An idea of size
To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

What paperwork will I get?
