DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos garage roof removal for South Ruislip properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in South Ruislip tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and garage conversions, we cover cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters and more.
In South Ruislip, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Do you work near South Ruislip station?

Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Yes, we do: South Ruislip is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
