How asbestos garage roof removal works in West Ealing
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and pieces of broken roof, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
In parts of London like West Ealing, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

West Ealing: your questions answered
My garage in West Ealing has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Hanwell station?
Yes. Hanwell station is close to the centre of West Ealing, and we cover the whole area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Where asbestos turns up
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Carport roofs
- Double garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Properties near Long Wood may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

What it costs

- The quantity or area
- Travel and parking
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed

What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
For a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
