Asbestos garage roof removal in Sundridge
Asbestos garage roof removal near Sundridge
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Sundridge tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about single garages and brittle, leaking roofs, involving downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In parts of London like Sundridge, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

FAQs for Sundridge
Can you work in Sundridge with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Sundridge have asbestos?
If your home in Sundridge was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
