Garage roof removal in SE2
Across SE2, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles, blocks and lean-tos, in Thamesmead, East Wickham and Abbey Wood and its smaller places.
Abbey Wood: Across Abbey Wood, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000. Near open spaces such as Crossness Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. In December, it’s dark in Abbey Wood by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
Duty holders and landlords in SE2
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
For managing agents and freeholders in SE2, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace.

What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal

Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
SE2: your questions answered
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
