How asbestos garage roof removal works in Collier Row
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From brittle, leaking roofs and lean-to roofs, we deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In Collier Row, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Collier Row questions
Is asbestos common in Collier Row homes?
If your home in Collier Row was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Collier Row despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal

What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The quantity or area
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
