Helpful guides
Asbestos garage roof removal near South Harrow
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. From roofs to clear before demolition and garage conversions, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards.
In parts of London like South Harrow, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Across London and the South East
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
See our prices page and our cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- How many samples are needed
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
- Damaged areas
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Your questions about garage roof removal in South Harrow
Do you cover South Harrow and the area around Northolt Park station?
Yes. Northolt Park station is about 0.5 miles south-west of South Harrow, and we cover both.
Could my house in South Harrow contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in South Harrow may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
