Helpful guides
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Turnham Green
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and carport roofs.
In Turnham Green, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Common questions in Turnham Green
Could my house in Turnham Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Turnham Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Turnham Green usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is my garage roof in Turnham Green asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.

Before booking anyone
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Any exclusions
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Turnham Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
