About asbestos garage roof removal in SE13
An old asbestos cement garage roof in SE13 tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and people normally contact us about garages in a row or block and single garages.
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

Typical garage roof jobs in SE13
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Block garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
For businesses and landlords in SE13
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.

We take them off with the sheets.
SE13 questions
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
