How asbestos garage roof removal works in Westbourne
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garages before a new roof or conversion and storm-damaged sheets, we cover ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around Westbourne are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
What we deal with in Westbourne
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Single garages
- Sheet garages
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages in a row or block
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A404 and A4206, tell us about parking and access.

What happens next

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof

What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Westbourne questions
My garage in Westbourne 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.
Could my house in Westbourne contain asbestos?
Any home in Westbourne built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Visible markings
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
