Asbestos help in Brockley
Asbestos garage roof removal near Brockley
Garage roof removal in Brockley normally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. From single and double garage roofs and garages due a new roof, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Garages around Brockley are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Pieces of broken roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Crofton Park station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Questions from Brockley
Could my house in Brockley contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Crofton Park station?
Yes. Crofton Park station is close to the centre of Brockley, and we cover the whole area.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Brockley?
We do: Brockley is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
