Asbestos garage roof removal in Harrow Weald
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and single and double garage roofs, including bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In parts of London like Harrow Weald, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The quantity or area
- How much waste there is
- The type of material and its condition
- How easy it is to reach
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Harrow Weald were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Harrow Weald: your questions answered
Do you work near Headstone Lane station?
Yes, we cover Harrow Weald and the area towards Headstone Lane station, about 0.8 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Harrow Weald homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Harrow Weald can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work in Harrow Weald?
Yes, we do: Harrow Weald is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Keeping things safe:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
