DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Yiewsley
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Yiewsley. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports.
Garages around Yiewsley are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Yiewsley: your questions answered
Do you work in Yiewsley despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Yiewsley homes?
If your home in Yiewsley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
After we have finished in Yiewsley
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
