Asbestos garage roof removal in Bromley
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. From brittle, leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs, we cover cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Bromley, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Bromley
Do you work in Bromley despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Bromley have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bromley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
