How asbestos garage roof removal works in West Heath
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and garage blocks.
In West Heath, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about garage roof removal in West Heath
Can you work in West Heath with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
My garage in West Heath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Places near West Heath
