Flat porch canopies, bay toppers and door hoods on Croydon’s interwar and post-war homes were often lined with asbestos cement board. The same applies to carport roofs and side-passage canopies, all covered under our fixed small-job price.
Most porch roofs are removed in a single visit. We protect the entrance, remove the roof intact, check the timber beneath, and leave you weatherproof or ready for a new canopy, as agreed upfront.
Ideal before porch replacement.
Honest frame reports with photos.
One visit, one fixed price, one consignment note. Most porch roofs are removed and gone the same morning, with the entrance left usable throughout.

It might be either cement board pre-2000 is suspect until sampled. If you’d rather not pay for removal you don’t need, we’ll sample first; if the age and appearance make it near-certain, we’ll say so and you can skip straight to the fixed removal price.
Frequently in the same visit porch decks, soffit boards and cement rainwater goods are natural companions. Mention everything at survey and it all lands in one fixed price and one disposal run.
Less than most people brace for it’s one of the smaller jobs we do. Exact figure depends on size and access, confirmed free at survey, fixed in writing within 48 hours.
Almost never porch decks sit at tower and platform height, and access is confirmed at survey. Where a rare exception needs more, it’s stated and priced in the quote, not sprung later.
The consignment note plus our written completion confirms the two documents that close an asbestos flag on a sale file. Both are issued as standard on every porch job, however small.
Yes porch and canopy boards are core work in every district, from Norbury’s Edwardian terraces to Shirley’s semis and Coulsdon’s avenues. Same-week surveys apply borough-wide.
