Asbestos garage roof removal for Bopeep properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and broken sheets after high winds, including bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
Garages around Bopeep are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Bopeep questions
Can you work in Bopeep with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Bopeep, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
What we deal with in Bopeep
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
Older houses in Bopeep, near Mission Chapel or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

What affects the price in Bopeep
Our quotes take into account:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Options to consider in Bopeep
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
