Asbestos garage roof removal for Kingsbury properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Kingsbury tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and old, cracked sheets, we cover cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In Kingsbury, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Kingsbury, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Typical garage roof jobs in Kingsbury
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.

- Garages before a new roof or conversion

- Concrete-panel garages
For rented homes with garages close to Hendon station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Questions from Kingsbury
Can you work in Kingsbury with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Kingsbury and the area around Hendon station?
Yes, we cover Kingsbury and the area towards Hendon station, about 1.5 miles east.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you work in Kingsbury?
Yes, Kingsbury is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
