Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Bexleyheath properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about broken sheets after high winds and concrete-panel garages, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Bexleyheath, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Helpful guides
After we’ve finished in Bexleyheath
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Domestic and commercial work
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
FAQs for Bexleyheath
Do you cover Bexleyheath and the area around Bexleyheath station?
Yes. Bexleyheath station is close to the centre of Bexleyheath, and we cover the whole area.
My garage in Bexleyheath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
