How asbestos garage roof removal works in West Kingston
If you are not sure your garage roof in West Kingston is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and storm-damaged sheets, involving downpipes, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Garages around West Kingston may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for West Kingston
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover West Kingston from London?
West Kingston is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
