The process
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Aldgate by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

Helpful guides
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Aldgate
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Block garages
- Lean-to roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A3 and A10, tell us about parking and access.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Materials, one by one
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Aldgate must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Aldgate
Do you work near London Fenchurch Street station?
Yes, we cover Aldgate, including the streets around London Fenchurch Street station.
Do older homes in Aldgate have asbestos?
Any home in Aldgate built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
