Asbestos garage roof removal for Bermondsey

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Bermondsey
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include storm-damaged sheets and prefab garages with cement walls, including downpipes, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In Bermondsey, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Some practical advice:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
What we deal with in Bermondsey
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Sheet garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you are a landlord with garages near London Bridge station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Common questions in Bermondsey
Do you work in Bermondsey despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Bermondsey homes?
Any home in Bermondsey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
