Need garage roof removal in East Wickham?
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Questions from East Wickham
My garage in East Wickham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work in East Wickham despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

For businesses and landlords in East Wickham
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in East Wickham, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in East Wickham
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Double garages
- Garage blocks
- Garages due for demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
Across East Wickham, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
