Asbestos garage roof removal near Earl's Court
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 sheet garages and single garages, we cover downpipes, cement gutters and cement wall panels and more.
In Earl's Court, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

FAQs for Earl's Court
My garage in Earl's Court has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Earl's Court 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 on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we are done:
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Ridge pieces

- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
