About our asbestos garage roof removal in Greenford
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Greenford tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and sheet garages, including ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In parts of London like Greenford, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Why people call us in Greenford
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Near open spaces such as Litten Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- Reports and results you can share

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.

Greenford questions
Do you cover Greenford and the area around Greenford station?
Yes, we cover Greenford, including the streets around Greenford station.
My garage in Greenford 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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
