Asbestos garage roof removal for Kew
Kew: your questions answered
Can you work in Kew with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Are garage roofs in Kew typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Kew properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Kew tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and storm-damaged sheets.
Garages around Kew 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. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
