About our asbestos garage roof removal in Greenhill
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include lean-to roofs and broken sheets after high winds, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In parts of London like Greenhill, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Typical garage roof jobs in Greenhill
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you let a house with a garage near Harrow-on-the-Hill station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What isn’t included
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
FAQs for Greenhill
Do you work near Harrow-on-the-Hill station?
Yes, we cover Greenhill, including the streets around Harrow-on-the-Hill station.
Can you work in Greenhill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
