Asbestos garage roof removal for Fitzrovia
Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Houses, flats and business premises

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Fitzrovia
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. From carport roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around Fitzrovia are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Fitzrovia, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Going forward:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.

The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.

- 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
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Common questions in Fitzrovia
Are garage roofs in Fitzrovia generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you work in Fitzrovia with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
