Asbestos garage roof removal in Woodcote
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and roofs to clear before demolition, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In Woodcote, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces

What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:

- The quantity or area
- Travel and parking
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Woodcote questions
Do older homes in Woodcote have asbestos?
If your home in Woodcote was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Woodcote with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is my garage roof in Woodcote asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.

For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Woodcote, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
