Asbestos garage roof removal in Aldersbrook
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Aldersbrook
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. From garages before a new roof or conversion and double garages, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
Garages around Aldersbrook are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Aldersbrook questions
Do you work near Wanstead Park station?
Yes. Wanstead Park station is about 0.9 miles south-west of Aldersbrook, and we cover both.
My garage in Aldersbrook has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
After we’ve finished in Aldersbrook
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. Late-December sunset in Aldersbrook is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know if something’s broken
