Asbestos garage roof removal in Westcombe Park
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Westcombe Park
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and garages in a row or block, we cover cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Westcombe Park, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

FAQs for Westcombe Park
Can you work in Westcombe Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do older homes in Westcombe Park have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Westcombe Park?
Yes, we do: our area includes Westcombe Park and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
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.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. The work area is kept clear while we’re working. Late-December sunset in Westcombe Park is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged

Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Westcombe Park must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Westcombe Park, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
