Asbestos garage roof removal for Crook Log
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Crook Log
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Crook Log. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. From broken sheets after high winds and garages due a new roof, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In London neighbourhoods like Crook Log, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Crook Log questions
Do older homes in Crook Log have asbestos?
If your home in Crook Log was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Bexleyheath station?
Yes, we cover Crook Log, including the streets around Bexleyheath station.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you cover Crook Log?
Yes. We cover Crook Log and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What affects the price in Crook Log
The cost depends on:
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
- The category of work
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Crook Log by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
