Asbestos garage roof removal in Bexley Riverside
Asbestos garage roof removal for Bexley Riverside properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From storm-damaged sheets and block garages, we cover downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Garages around Bexley Riverside are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
In Bexley Riverside, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.

Common questions in Bexley Riverside
My garage in Bexley Riverside 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.
Can you work in Bexley Riverside with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you remove the whole garage?
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.
