How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chalk Farm
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. From garages in a row or block and concrete-panel garages, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In parts of London like Chalk Farm, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Chalk Farm
Do you cover Chalk Farm and the area around Kentish Town West station?
Yes, we cover Chalk Farm, including the streets around Kentish Town West station.
Are garage roofs in Chalk Farm usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Weighing up your options
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
