About our asbestos garage roof removal in Stanwell Moor
Many garages built before 2000, in Stanwell Moor and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From single and double garage roofs and garages due for demolition, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Stanwell Moor are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What we deal with in Stanwell Moor
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage conversions
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Around Staines Reservoirs, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Stanwell Moor were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
FAQs for Stanwell Moor
Do you work near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station?
Yes, we cover Stanwell Moor and the area towards Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
Could my house in Stanwell Moor contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my garage roof in Stanwell Moor asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How do I get a quote?

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
