Asbestos garage roof removal for Bloomsbury properties
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Bloomsbury is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and block garages, including ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Garages around Bloomsbury are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Bloomsbury: your questions answered
Do older homes in Bloomsbury have asbestos?
If your home in Bloomsbury was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Bloomsbury despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
