Asbestos garage roof removal near Bickley
Asbestos garage roof removal near Bickley
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s garages due a new roof and garages due for demolition, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In London neighbourhoods like Bickley, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Bickley
Do you work near Bickley station?
Yes. Bickley station is close to the centre of Bickley, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in Bickley homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bickley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is my garage roof in Bickley asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How we work
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. In December, it’s dark in Bickley by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
Ask for a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
