Asbestos garage roof removal for Broadwater properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Broadwater tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In a smaller place like Broadwater, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Duty holders and landlords in Broadwater
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Broadwater were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Block garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
Across Broadwater, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Records for your files
- Clear written quotes
- Waste paperwork for every removal

Broadwater questions
Could my house in Broadwater contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Broadwater 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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
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.
