Asbestos garage roof removal near Plashet
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and garage conversions.
In parts of London like Plashet, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

See how we price jobs and published price ranges.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
- The category of work
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Questions from Plashet
Can you work in Plashet with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Plashet and the area around Woodgrange Park station?
Yes. Woodgrange Park station is about 0.5 miles north of Plashet, and we cover both.
Do you cover Plashet?
We do: our area includes Plashet and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
