Seven Kings questions
Can you work in Seven Kings with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Seven Kings homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Seven Kings may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Seven Kings
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about garage blocks and carport roofs, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around Seven Kings are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Why people call us in Seven Kings
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage blocks
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Around Hainault Lodge, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Read how we quote and published price ranges.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
