Asbestos garage roof removal in Bayswater
Asbestos garage roof removal for Bayswater properties
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. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and garages being knocked down, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters.
In London neighbourhoods like Bayswater, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage blocks
- Lean-to roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
In Bayswater, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- The documents you will receive
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions

Questions from Bayswater
Could my house in Bayswater contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bayswater may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Bayswater despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Give us a rough size
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Duty holders and landlords in Bayswater
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
