About our asbestos garage roof removal in City of Westminster
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and concrete-panel garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In parts of London like City of Westminster, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

DIY and asbestos
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why people choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Domestic and commercial work
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

The usual limits are:

- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Re-roofing is normally separate

What else we do in City of Westminster
Your questions about garage roof removal in City of Westminster
Is asbestos common in City of Westminster homes?
If your home in City of Westminster was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in City of Westminster with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
