Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Gillette Corner
Many garages built before 2000, in Gillette Corner and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and old, cracked sheets, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Gillette Corner, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Gillette Corner
My garage in Gillette Corner has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in Gillette Corner despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Gillette Corner
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Double garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Lean-to roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Syon Lane station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get
- If the price includes VAT
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
