How asbestos garage roof removal works in Old Chiswick
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From single garages and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Old Chiswick, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Old Chiswick questions
Do older homes in Old Chiswick have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Old Chiswick can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Old Chiswick with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in Old Chiswick?
Yes. We cover Old Chiswick and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. Late-December sunset in Old Chiswick is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

- Let us know where we can park

Typical garage roof jobs in Old Chiswick
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-to roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
Around WWT London Wetland Centre, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Before booking anyone
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- VAT, clearly stated
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
