How asbestos garage roof removal works in Paddington
Garage roof removal in Paddington typically includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and broken sheets after high winds, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In Paddington, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

What it costs
What drives the price:
- How much waste there is

What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Paddington by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
