How asbestos garage roof removal works in Ruislip Gardens
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about block garages and lean-to roofs, including downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Ruislip Gardens, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What else we do in Ruislip Gardens
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Common questions in Ruislip Gardens
My garage in Ruislip Gardens has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Ruislip Gardens have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you quote from photos?
