Your questions about garage roof removal in South Hampstead
Do you work near South Hampstead station?
Yes, we cover South Hampstead, including the streets around South Hampstead station.
Can you work in South Hampstead with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover South Hampstead?
Yes. We cover South Hampstead and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Going forward:
