About our asbestos garage roof removal in Belsize Park
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Belsize Park tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and single garages, including ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.

After we’ve finished in Belsize Park
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
For businesses and landlords in Belsize Park
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

How we price garage roof removal
Every quote reflects:
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed

A few photos can save a site visit:

Your questions about garage roof removal in Belsize Park
Could my house in Belsize Park contain asbestos?
Any home in Belsize Park built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Belsize Park usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. Late-December sunset in Belsize Park is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
