Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Heston
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
In older properties, we often see:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Carport roofs
- Double garages
If you let a house with a garage near Southall station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Asbestos garage roof removal in Heston
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes, and people normally contact us about garage conversions and roofs to clear before demolition.
In Heston, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Heston
Do you work in Heston despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Are garage roofs in Heston typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is my garage roof in Heston asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work in Heston?
Yes, we do: our area includes Heston and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. We plan garage roof jobs in Heston for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move things out of the way carefully
Duty holders and landlords in Heston
For managing agents and freeholders in Heston, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
After we’ve finished in Heston
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Going forward:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
