Asbestos garage roof removal for West Wickham properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include block garages and lean-to roofs, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
Garages around West Wickham are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

What we deal with in West Wickham
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Double garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Garage blocks
- Storm-damaged sheets
Near open spaces such as Bramley Bank, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.

Your questions about garage roof removal in West Wickham
My garage in West Wickham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover West Wickham and the area around West Wickham station?
Yes. West Wickham station is close to the centre of West Wickham, and we cover the whole area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
