Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job

FAQs for West End
Do you cover West End from London?
West End is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in West End generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
