How asbestos garage roof removal works in SM4
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around SM4. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include old, cracked sheets and prefab garages with cement walls, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note

Near open spaces such as Morden Park (park), some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After we’ve finished in SM4
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
- The access route
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in SM4
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Old, cracked sheets
- Sheet garages
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
Common questions in SM4
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
