Asbestos garage roof removal for Angell Town properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Angell Town. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages being knocked down, we deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes and more.
In parts of London like Angell Town, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Angell Town: your questions answered
Do older homes in Angell Town have asbestos?
If your home in Angell Town was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Angell Town with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
The process
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. The work area is kept clear while we are working. Late-December sunset in Angell Town is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- 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
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Find any old asbestos reports

Why people call us in Angell Town
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-to roofs
Near open spaces such as Centre for Wildlife Gardening, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
