Asbestos garage roof removal in CR4: what to expect
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in CR4 all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and people typically contact us about storm-damaged sheets and lean-tos and carports.
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole.

Garages we deal with in CR4
Across CR4, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles, blocks and lean-tos, in London, Streatham and Colliers Wood and its smaller places.
Eastfields: Near open spaces such as Oakleigh Way, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. If you’re a landlord with garages near Mitcham Eastfields station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. In December, it’s dark in Eastfields by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in CR4, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If your business premises in CR4 were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Your options compared
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Any exclusions
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size

Questions from CR4
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
