About our asbestos garage roof removal in Old Oak Common
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes, and people usually contact us about concrete-panel garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
Garages around Old Oak Common are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Old Oak Common
Do you work in Old Oak Common despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Willesden Junction station?
Yes, we cover Old Oak Common, including the streets around Willesden Junction station.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Old Oak Common, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work done to the regulations
