About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ruislip
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Ruislip is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about garages due for demolition and old, cracked sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Ruislip, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

How we price garage roof removal
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges

Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

- A clear close-up
- A rough size or measurement

After we have finished in Ruislip
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Ruislip
Are garage roofs in Ruislip normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in Ruislip despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Roof felt

What happens

- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement

- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
