How asbestos garage roof removal works in Isleworth
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and brittle, leaking roofs, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Isleworth, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Isleworth: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Isleworth generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in Isleworth despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
