How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hammersmith
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and garages being knocked down, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
Garages around Hammersmith are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Hammersmith questions
Could my house in Hammersmith contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hammersmith can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Hammersmith normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
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, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Typical garage roof jobs in Hammersmith
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.

- Lean-tos and carports
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages being knocked down
For rented homes with garages close to Kensington Olympia station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
