Our asbestos garage roof removal in CR0
Garage roof removal in CR0 generally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes, and people usually contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garages due for demolition.
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole.

- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

CR0: garages, outbuildings and roofs
From London, Croydon and Broad Green to its villages, CR0 has many older garages with cement roofs. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings.
London: In London, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs. For garages on or near the A2 and A10, let us know where we can load. Late-December sunset in London is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work

We take them off with the sheets.

Questions from CR0
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
