- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Little Chelsea
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Little Chelsea. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include garages due a new roof and garages in a row or block, including bargeboards, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In parts of London like Little Chelsea, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What else we do in Little Chelsea
Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garage blocks
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
If you’re a landlord with garages near Imperial Wharf station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- If the price includes VAT
- How fibres will be kept down
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Little Chelsea: your questions answered
Do older homes in Little Chelsea have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Little Chelsea despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
For businesses and landlords in Little Chelsea
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
