How asbestos garage roof removal works in Broom Hill
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. From garages due for demolition and garage conversions, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Broom Hill, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Clear written quotes
See our prices page and the cost guide.
How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Late-December sunset in Broom Hill is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Duty holders and landlords in Broom Hill
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Broom Hill garages: local notes

Near open spaces such as The Warren, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. Across Broom Hill, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs.

Broom Hill questions
Do you work in Broom Hill 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 you work near Orpington station?
Yes. Orpington station is about 0.6 miles south-west of Broom Hill, and we cover both.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Why people call us in Broom Hill
