Asbestos garage roof removal near West Dulwich
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about garages being knocked down and prefab garages with cement walls.
In West Dulwich, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in West Dulwich
If you run a business from older premises in West Dulwich, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
West Dulwich questions
Do you work near Sydenham Hill station?
Yes. Sydenham Hill station is close to the centre of West Dulwich, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in West Dulwich homes?
If your home in West Dulwich 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.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many samples are needed
- How easy it is to reach
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Damaged areas
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- Labels, if any
