Asbestos garage roof removal across NW26
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and garages due a new roof.
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 check the roof material first
- 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
Prices in NW26
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Garage roof removal in NW26

Harlesden: Near open spaces such as Hanger Hill Wood, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. If you let a house with a garage near Willesden Junction station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. We plan garage roof jobs in Harlesden for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Typical garage roof jobs in NW26

- Sheet garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs

Options to consider in NW26
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed.

Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Questions from NW26
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Do you work in NW26?
Yes, NW26 is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
