Asbestos garage roof removal near Maida Vale
Asbestos garage roof removal in Maida Vale
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Maida Vale tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes, and people typically contact us about garage conversions and garage blocks.
In Maida Vale, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Why people call us in Maida Vale
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Block garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-tos and carports
- Single and double garage roofs
For garages on or near the A404, let us know where we can load.
Comparing quotes
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- VAT, clearly stated
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- No removal until we know what it is
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Common questions in Maida Vale
My garage in Maida Vale has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Maida Vale homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Maida Vale can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
