Helpful guides
Asbestos garage roof removal near Brockley Hill
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Brockley Hill. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and people usually contact us about broken sheets after high winds and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
Garages around Brockley Hill are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access to the area
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
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.
The scope of garage roof removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

What we deal with in Brockley Hill
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.

- Lean-tos and carports
- Double garages
- Garages due for demolition
