Asbestos garage roof removal in Chiswick
We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across Chiswick. Photos and rough sizes help us quote. We often deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Common questions in Chiswick
Could my house in Chiswick contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Chiswick with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Keeping things safe:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Doing it yourself?
