Asbestos garage roof removal in Harlington
Garage roof removal in Harlington typically includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Whether it’s garages due a new roof and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
Garages around Harlington are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Walls come down the same way.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Harlington
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Double garages
- Garage blocks
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Properties near Crane Meadows may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Harlington
Do you work in Harlington despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Is asbestos common in Harlington homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. We plan garage roof jobs in Harlington for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Dig out previous surveys
