Asbestos garage roof removal in Woodcote Green
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Woodcote Green. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include garages being knocked down and single garages, including downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
Garages around Woodcote Green 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.

FAQs for Woodcote Green
Is asbestos common in Woodcote Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Woodcote Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Woodcote Green 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.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
