How asbestos garage roof removal works in New Eltham
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about broken sheets after high winds and roofs to clear before demolition, including cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In New Eltham, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Helpful guides
New Eltham questions
Do you cover New Eltham and the area around New Eltham station?
Yes. New Eltham station is close to the centre of New Eltham, and we cover the whole area.
Are garage roofs in New Eltham typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
For businesses and landlords in New Eltham
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Records for your files
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
