Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Childs Hill
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. From garages due a new roof and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Garages around Childs Hill are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Comparing quotes

- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The method and controls
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East

Childs Hill: your questions answered
Do you work near Cricklewood station?
Yes, we cover Childs Hill and the area towards Cricklewood station, about 0.7 miles south-west.
Are garage roofs in Childs Hill typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
