About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hanwell
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and block garages, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In Hanwell, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hanwell
My garage in Hanwell has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you work in Hanwell 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.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
