Duty holders and landlords in NW4
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in NW4 were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
A closer look at the materials

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Your questions about garage roof removal in NW4
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do you cover NW4?
Yes. We cover NW4 and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
