About our asbestos garage roof removal in Whitton
Garage roof removal in Whitton generally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Typical materials include cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
Garages around Whitton 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. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

FAQs for Whitton
Do you cover Whitton and the area around Whitton station?
Yes, we cover Whitton, including the streets around Whitton station.
Do you work in Whitton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
