FAQs for Southall
Are garage roofs in Southall normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Southall station?
Yes, we cover Southall, including the streets around Southall station.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

How we work
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Southall by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
Near open spaces such as Middle Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Any exclusions
- How fibres will be kept down
Options to consider in Southall
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Clear written quotes
- Records for your files
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Limits to be aware of
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

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
