Asbestos garage roof removal in CR6: what to expect
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about lean-tos and carports and double garages.
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste.

CR6: garages, outbuildings and roofs
Garages across CR6, from Warlingham, Hamsey Green and Chelsham to 4 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings.
Warlingham: For rented homes with garages close to Upper Warlingham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. Older houses in Warlingham, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs. Late-December sunset in Warlingham is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in CR6 must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

How we price garage roof removal
Quotes vary because of:
- How many samples are needed
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Questions from CR6
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
- 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
