Asbestos garage roof removal for Ealing properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garages due for demolition and sheet garages, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In Ealing, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Typical jobs in Ealing include:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due a new roof
- Block garages
- Sheet garages
Garages on busy roads like the A40 and B452 need loading planned in advance.
What to look for in a quote

- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How fibres will be kept down

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Questions from Ealing
Can you work in Ealing with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Ealing Broadway station?
Yes. Ealing Broadway station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Ealing, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
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.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.

Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
- An overall view
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Ealing by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Dig out previous surveys
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear the way to the work area

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
