About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sidcup
Garage roof removal in Sidcup usually includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. From lean-to roofs and single and double garage roofs, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In Sidcup, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Properties near The Tarn may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sidcup questions
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Sidcup homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is my garage roof in Sidcup asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

For businesses and landlords in Sidcup
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sidcup, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
