Asbestos help in East Sheen
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in East Sheen by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- 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
Preparing for the visit

Helpful guides
How asbestos garage roof removal works in East Sheen
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s block garages and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces and more.
Garages around East Sheen are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for East Sheen
Are garage roofs in East Sheen generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in East Sheen despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Options to consider in East Sheen
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What affects the price in East Sheen
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- Parking and access charges
- Licensed or non-licensed

Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
