About our asbestos garage roof removal in Shepherd's Bush
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include block garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters.
In Shepherd's Bush, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
