How asbestos garage roof removal works in Stanmore
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and garage blocks.
In parts of London like Stanmore, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Stanmore: your questions answered
Can you work in Stanmore with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Stanmore homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is my garage roof in Stanmore asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
