Our asbestos garage roof removal in W2
Many garages built before 2000, in W2 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. Typical materials include cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about single and double garage roofs and garage conversions.
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
What you’ll pay
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What you get
- No removal until we know what it is
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear written quotes
- Across London and the South East

Garage roofs across W2
Garage roof jobs in W2 include singles, doubles and blocks, from the towns to the villages.
City of Westminster: Near open spaces such as Serpentine, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. In City of Westminster, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs. Late-December sunset in City of Westminster is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Questions from W2
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you cover W2?
We do: W2 is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
