Our asbestos garage roof removal in NW11
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in NW11 all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and concrete-panel garages, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

Typical garage roof jobs in NW11

- Garages due a new roof
- Garages due for demolition
- Garage blocks
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Options to consider in NW11
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether VAT is included
- Any exclusions
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Questions from NW11
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
