W4: garages, outbuildings and roofs
Garages across W4, from Acton, Hammersmith and Acton Green to 0 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings.
Acton Green: If you’re a landlord with garages near South Acton station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Around Duke's Hollow, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together. In December, it’s dark in Acton Green by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
Where asbestos turns up

- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages being knocked down
- Carport roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
Materials, one by one
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.

Your questions about garage roof removal in W4
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you cover W4?
Yes. We cover W4 and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
