About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bakers Arms
Many garages built before 2000, in Bakers Arms 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. People often contact us about garage blocks and prefab garages with cement walls, including ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.
Garages around Bakers Arms are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

How it works
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Bakers Arms by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Describe the garage
- 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
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
Paint or overclad instead? 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. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Bakers Arms
Do older homes in Bakers Arms have asbestos?
If your home in Bakers Arms was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Bakers Arms has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
What we deal with in Bakers Arms
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Sheet garages
- Single garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
For rented homes with garages close to Leyton Midland Road station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
