Asbestos garage roof removal for Paddington Green properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include single garages and block garages, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around Paddington Green 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. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

FAQs for Paddington Green
Could my house in Paddington Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Paddington Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Paddington Green with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- High winds can delay roof work
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Common materials
