Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Asbestos garage roof removal in West End
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and lean-tos and carports.
Garages around West End are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

West End: your questions answered
My garage in West End has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you work in West End with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
The scope of garage roof removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

How we work
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in West End by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Mention any parking restrictions
Getting a price
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
