Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ram Lane
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garages in a row or block
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due for demolition
If you’re a landlord with garages near Charing station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Any exclusions
- What paperwork you get
- Whether VAT is included
What happens next
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The survey scope
- The size of the job
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Ram Lane: your questions answered
Could my house in Ram Lane contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ram Lane can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Ram Lane normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you cover Ram Lane?

Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
