Asbestos garage roof removal for North Kensington properties
Many garages built before 2000, in North Kensington and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and pieces of broken roof, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In parts of London like North Kensington, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials in North Kensington
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
North Kensington: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in North Kensington homes?
Any home in North Kensington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Kensal Green station?
Yes. Kensal Green station is about 0.5 miles north of North Kensington, and we cover both.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you cover North Kensington?
Yes, we do: our area includes North Kensington and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
How we work in North Kensington
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Covering London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
See our prices page and published price ranges.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
