Asbestos garage roof removal for West Barnes properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in West Barnes tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages in a row or block, including cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In parts of London like West Barnes, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about garage roof removal in West Barnes
Can you work in West Barnes with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Are garage roofs in West Barnes normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Duty holders and landlords in West Barnes
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
