Asbestos garage roof removal near Headstone
Asbestos garage roof removal near Headstone
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. From storm-damaged sheets and garages due a new roof, we cover cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards.
In Headstone, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Headstone
Do older homes in Headstone have asbestos?
Any home in Headstone built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Headstone despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

- Keep the consignment note afterwards
