About our asbestos garage roof removal in Queensbury
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Queensbury is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In parts of London like Queensbury, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

FAQs for Queensbury
Do you cover Queensbury and the area around Kenton station?
Yes, we cover Queensbury and the area towards Kenton station, about 1.3 miles south-west.
Do older homes in Queensbury have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

DIY and asbestos
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.
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.
How we price garage roof removal
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- How much there is
- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
The process
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Queensbury by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
