Asbestos garage roof removal for Little Stanmore properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and broken sheets after high winds, we cover ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In parts of London like Little Stanmore, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Little Stanmore
Do you work near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes. Mill Hill Broadway station is about 1.6 miles east of Little Stanmore, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Little Stanmore normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work in Little Stanmore?
Yes, we do: our area includes Little Stanmore and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.

Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
