Asbestos garage roof removal near Bexley
Many garages built before 2000, in Bexley and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From garages due for demolition and broken sheets after high winds, we cover downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In London neighbourhoods like Bexley, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Typical garage roof jobs in Bexley
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages in a row or block
- Lean-tos and carports
- Pieces of broken roof
In Bexley, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.
Questions to ask before you book

What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:

- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Accredited laboratory results
- Domestic and commercial work
Take a look at how we price jobs or published price ranges.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Bexley by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
Getting a price

What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Bexley questions
Do you work in Bexley despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
My garage in Bexley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is my garage roof in Bexley asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Do you work in Bexley?
Yes, Bexley is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
