Asbestos garage roof removal for Kensal Green
Asbestos garage roof removal in Kensal Green
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Kensal Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and garage blocks.
Garages around Kensal Green are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Kensal Green: your questions answered
Do older homes in Kensal Green have 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.
Do you work near Kensal Green station?
Yes. Kensal Green station is close to the centre of Kensal Green, and we cover the whole area.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
