Asbestos garage roof removal near White City
For businesses and landlords in White City
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Asbestos garage roof removal for White City properties
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, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garage blocks and garages being knocked down.
In White City, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

- Keep pets and children inside

Avoid these
Don’t 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.
Questions from White City
My garage in White City has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work in White City despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
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 get advice.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
