About our asbestos garage roof removal in Summerstown
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include pieces of broken roof and garage blocks, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In Summerstown, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

After we have finished in Summerstown
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Common questions in Summerstown
Do you work near Earlsfield station?
Yes, we cover Summerstown and the area towards Earlsfield station, about 0.5 miles north.
Are garage roofs in Summerstown typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
