How asbestos garage roof removal works in WC2B
An old asbestos cement garage roof in WC2B tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes, and people generally contact us about single and double garage roofs and block garages.
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Cost
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Your questions about garage roof removal in WC2B
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you cover WC2B?
Yes, we do: our area includes WC2B and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
