Asbestos garage roof removal in Bowmans
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From storm-damaged sheets and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover downpipes, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In a smaller place like Bowmans, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Bowmans
Do you cover Bowmans and the area around Crayford station?
Yes. Crayford station is about 0.6 miles north of Bowmans, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Bowmans homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bowmans can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due for demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garage blocks
For garages on or near the A2018, let us know where we can load.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Any exclusions
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Once we’re done:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
