Asbestos garage roof removal in Ickenham
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about carport roofs and single garages.
In Ickenham, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Helpful guides
Ickenham questions
Is asbestos common in Ickenham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ickenham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Ickenham usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
