Asbestos garage roof removal for Chislehurst properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Chislehurst and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about garages being knocked down and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In Chislehurst, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Typical garage roof jobs in Chislehurst
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Single garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage blocks
- Lean-tos and carports
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A208 and B264, tell us about parking and access.

Chislehurst garages: local notes
Chislehurst is about 3 miles north-west of Orpington, in Greater London. Chislehurst has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Chislehurst is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We work right across the region, from Chislehurst to London (about 9 miles away).
If you are a landlord with garages near Chislehurst station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Older houses in Chislehurst, near Parish Church The Annunciation Of Blessed Virgin Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.
We handle garage roof jobs in every part of the BR7, BR1, BR2 and SE9 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a property on Chislehurst High Street, Sanderson Square and Wilderness Road. Chislehurst is on the A208 and B264, which makes it simple to get to.

What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
- How much waste there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once we are done:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
