Asbestos garage roof removal in Dollis Hill
Many garages built before 2000, in Dollis Hill and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garage conversions and garages being knocked down.
In London neighbourhoods like Dollis Hill, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

FAQs for Dollis Hill
Do you cover Dollis Hill and the area around Brent Cross West station?
Yes. Brent Cross West station is close to the centre of Dollis Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Dollis Hill have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dollis Hill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.

Typical garage roof jobs in Dollis Hill
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages in a row or block
- Lean-tos and carports
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages being knocked down
Properties near Westbere Copse may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether VAT is included
- The scope of the job, in writing
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
