Asbestos help in Addington
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Addington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Addington
If you are not sure your garage roof in Addington is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports.
In parts of London like Addington, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

What it costs

- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
- The category of work
- The quantity or area

Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Where we could park
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
You’ll get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Records for your files

Addington questions
My garage in Addington has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Addington and the area around West Wickham station?
Yes. West Wickham station is about 1.7 miles north-east of Addington, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Is my garage roof in Addington asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.

Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Addington
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages due a new roof
- Sheet garages
Older houses in Addington, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
