Asbestos garage roof removal for Kilburn properties
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Kilburn is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Common materials are downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and pieces of broken roof.
Garages around Kilburn 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. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Kilburn: your questions answered
Do you work near Queens Park (London) station?
Yes. Queens Park (London) station is close to the centre of Kilburn, and we cover the whole area.
Can you work in Kilburn with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
