Asbestos garage roof removal near Acton Vale
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From pieces of broken roof and single and double garage roofs, we cover downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Acton Vale are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Acton Vale
Do you cover Acton Vale and the area around Acton Central station?
Yes, we cover Acton Vale and the area towards Acton Central station, about 0.5 miles west.
Can you work in Acton Vale with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
