Asbestos help in Westminster
Westminster: your questions answered
Do you work in Westminster despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
My garage in Westminster has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Westminster
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From sheet garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes and more.
Garages around Westminster 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. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Westminster by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Duty holders and landlords in Westminster
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If your business premises in Westminster were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
