Asbestos garage roof removal for Wimbledon Chase
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Wimbledon Chase
If you are not sure your garage roof in Wimbledon Chase is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and garages before a new roof or conversion, including downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Wimbledon Chase, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Wimbledon Chase
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Double garages
Near open spaces such as Merton Park Green Walks, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

Materials we deal with
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Ridge pieces

Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Questions from Wimbledon Chase
My garage in Wimbledon Chase has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Wimbledon Chase with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
