Asbestos garage roof removal for Perivale
Asbestos garage roof removal near Perivale
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and sheet garages.
In Perivale, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common materials
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach

We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement

- Where we could park
- Visible markings
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Perivale
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-to roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
Across Perivale, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Perivale questions
Could my house in Perivale contain asbestos?
Any home in Perivale built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Perivale despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. Late-December sunset in Perivale is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
