About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bulphan
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about double garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
Garages around Bulphan are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Bulphan: your questions answered
Could my house in Bulphan contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Bulphan has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Bulphan by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
Typical jobs in Bulphan include:
- Garages due a new roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Block garages
Near open spaces such as Langdon Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

What it might be made of
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Identify first, remove only when needed

What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- High winds can delay roof work

- Different materials need a different approach

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
