What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
FAQs for Bullbrook
Is asbestos common in Bullbrook homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Martins Heron station?
Yes, we cover Bullbrook and the area towards Martins Heron station, about 0.6 miles south.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Bullbrook

- Carport roofs
Near open spaces such as Heath Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. We plan garage roof jobs in Bullbrook for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Find any old asbestos reports

What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
Choosing the right option
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- No removal until we know what it is
- Across London and the South East
