In New Addington, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Weighing up your options
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
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Accredited laboratory results
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What affects the price in New Addington
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Helpful guides
Questions from New Addington
Do you work in New Addington despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Are garage roofs in New Addington typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
