Asbestos garage roof removal in Wilmington
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Wilmington. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about old, cracked sheets and garage blocks, involving downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Wilmington, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
The scope of garage roof removal
Worth knowing before booking:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- High winds can delay roof work
- 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’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Wilmington by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Let us know if something’s broken

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Questions from Wilmington
Do you cover Wilmington and the area around Crayford station?
Yes, we cover Wilmington and the area towards Crayford station, about 1.3 miles north.
How far is Wilmington from London?
Wilmington is about 13 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Is my garage roof in Wilmington asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wilmington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
