Asbestos garage roof removal in TW18: what to expect
Many garages built before 2000, in TW18 and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people usually contact us about garages in a row or block and lean-to roofs.
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
What it costs in TW18
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Your options compared

Duty holders and landlords in TW18
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
For managing agents and freeholders in TW18, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
The scope of garage roof removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
TW18: your questions answered
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
