- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note

Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Re-roofing is normally separate

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt

Duty holders and landlords in Covent Garden
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Typical garage roof jobs in Covent Garden
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-tos and carports
- Old, cracked sheets
- Block garages
Older houses in Covent Garden, near Crown Court Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Common questions in Covent Garden
Could my house in Covent Garden contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Covent Garden despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
