Asbestos garage roof removal for Cricklewood
Asbestos garage roof removal for Cricklewood properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and garages being knocked down, we cover corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
Garages around Cricklewood are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

FAQs for Cricklewood
Could my house in Cricklewood contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Cricklewood may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Cricklewood has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Different materials need a different approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Cricklewood, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Cricklewood must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
How we price garage roof removal
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access to the area
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Damaged areas
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Approximate dimensions
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What happens
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in Cricklewood by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
