Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Beckenham
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are some of the things we deal with in Beckenham:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages in a row or block
- Carport roofs
Properties near Dacres Wood may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Common questions in Beckenham
Do older homes in Beckenham have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Beckenham can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Beckenham normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
