Asbestos garage roof removal for Belgravia
Asbestos garage roof removal near Belgravia
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Belgravia tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From broken sheets after high winds and garages due a new roof, we cover bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Garages around Belgravia are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
