DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

FAQs for Cambridge Heath
Do older homes in Cambridge Heath have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Cambridge Heath can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Cambridge Heath with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
After we have finished in Cambridge Heath
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- Access to the area

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Accredited laboratory results
Duty holders and landlords in Cambridge Heath
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
