Asbestos garage roof removal for Eastcote 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 cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and ridge pieces and more.
In parts of London like Eastcote, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Eastcote
Do you cover Eastcote and the area around Headstone Lane station?
Yes, we cover Eastcote and the area towards Headstone Lane station, about 1.9 miles north-east.
Are garage roofs in Eastcote normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Eastcote
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-to roofs
- Sheet garages
Older houses in Eastcote, near St Lawrence or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
