Asbestos garage roof removal for Chelsea Harbour properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Chelsea Harbour tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s carport roofs and garage conversions, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In London neighbourhoods like Chelsea Harbour, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Chelsea Harbour
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Sheet garages
- Double garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
In Chelsea Harbour, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
What to look for in a quote
- What category of work it is
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Questions from Chelsea Harbour
Can you work in Chelsea Harbour 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.
Could my house in Chelsea Harbour contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chelsea Harbour may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Chelsea Harbour?
Yes, we do: Chelsea Harbour is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Chelsea Harbour, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Chelsea Harbour, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
