Your questions about garage roof removal in Acton
Do you work in Acton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Acton and the area around Acton Central station?
Yes. Acton Central station is close to the centre of Acton, and we cover the whole area.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Typical garage roof jobs in Acton
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.
Typical jobs in Acton include:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages due a new roof
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Block garages
Around Hanger Hill Wood, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Some practical advice:

Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Acton must 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.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What else we do in Acton
How it works
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Acton by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Warn neighbours if needed
