Asbestos garage roof removal for North Sheen
Asbestos garage roof removal in North Sheen
If you’re not sure your garage roof in North Sheen is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and block garages.
In London neighbourhoods like North Sheen, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in North Sheen, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Which option is right?
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

FAQs for North Sheen
Do you work in North Sheen despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Kew Gardens station?
Yes. Kew Gardens station is close to the centre of North Sheen, and we cover the whole area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you cover North Sheen?
Yes, we do: our area includes North Sheen and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Why people call us in North Sheen
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garage conversions
- Single and double garage roofs
In North Sheen, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in North Sheen by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
