Walk any street of interwar semis in Shirley, Coulsdon or Sanderstead and you’ll see grey corrugated cement garage roofs, mostly laid between the 1950s and 1980s. Decades of weather have left many brittle and past their best.
A surveyor visits free the same week, measures up, checks sheet condition and fixings, and confirms whether your job sits in the non-licensed or NNLW category. Your fixed price covers the lot removal, disposal, documentation.
Sheets lifted whole, never broken
Consignment note issued on completion
We inspect the roof, count and measure the sheets, check what’s underneath, and confirm the work category. No charge, no commitment.
The written figure covers labour, bagging, transport, licensed disposal and your consignment note. It doesn’t change on the day.
Fixings are extracted, sheets are lifted intact and passed down not slid, dropped or snapped. Debris in the gutters and on the slab is collected as licensed waste too.
Everything leaves the site double-bagged with a registered carrier. Your consignment note arrives on completion, ready for your records or a future sale.
Across every CR postcode no fortnight of waiting with a cracked roof
On most standard single garages
We flag rot or failed purlins before you order a new roof

FAQS
No and it’s not a technicality. Untrained removal breaches CAR 2012, exposes you and your neighbours to fibre release, and leaves you with hazardous waste no tip will accept. The safe route costs less than most people fear; ask for the fixed price before deciding.
A standard single garage in Croydon is almost always a same-day job, typically a morning. Double garages, asbestos-clad walls or multiple outbuildings add time, and your quote states the expected duration up front.
Corrugated cement garage roofs generally fall into the non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed (NNLW) category, meaning no HSE licence is needed but trained operatives and controlled methods are mandatory. We confirm the exact category at survey and handle any notification required.
We can. Removal-only is fine if you have a roofer lined up, but our Re-Roofs Croydon service fits a modern metal or fibre-cement replacement under the same fixed contract one team, one price, no gap with an open garage.
They’re wrapped, double-bagged in compliant packaging and taken by registered carriers to a licensed disposal facility. The consignment note you receive is the legal record of that journey hung onto it.
Rarely. Rear garage blocks are standard fare in Croydon and we plan carry-distance and vehicle position at survey stage. Tell us about access when you book and it’ll be reflected and fixed in the price.
Absolutely not pressure-washing asbestos cement is one of the worst things you can do to it, blasting fibres free and spreading contaminated slurry. Leave it exactly as it is and let us take the roof as-found.
We can usually give a strong indication from photos, dimensions and your postcode the same day. The confirmed fixed price follows the free survey that’s what protects you from on-the-day changes.
£10m public liability and £10m employer liability, carried as standard on every garage roof we take down. Certificates are available before the job starts landlords and managing agents ask routinely, and homeowners are welcome to.
