Asbestos garage roof removal for Hounslow properties
If you are not sure your garage roof in Hounslow is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and garages in a row or block, we cover downpipes, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In Hounslow, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Hounslow is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we work. We work right across the region, from Hounslow to London (about 11 miles away).
Around Garden Lake, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. For rented homes with garages close to Hounslow station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Hounslow: your questions answered
Do you work in Hounslow despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Could my house in Hounslow contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
