Asbestos garage roof removal for West Green properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garage conversions and garage blocks.
In London neighbourhoods like West Green, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
West Green questions
Could my house in West Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in West Green despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Is my garage roof in West Green asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.

Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
