About asbestos garage roof removal in SW7
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about garages due a new roof and lean-to roofs.
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else.

Garage roof removal in SW7
Garages across SW7, from Kensington, Brompton and South Kensington to 0 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings.
Kensington: Across Kensington, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000. For garages on or near the A402 and B316, let us know where we can load. Late-December sunset in Kensington is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in SW7
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Single garages
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages in a row or block

Common questions in SW7
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you cover SW7?
Yes, we do: SW7 is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
