Asbestos garage roof removal near Barkingside
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s single garages and pieces of broken roof, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Barkingside 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. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Barkingside
My garage in Barkingside has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Barkingside and the area around Seven Kings station?
Yes. Seven Kings station is about 1.6 miles south of Barkingside, and we cover both.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in Barkingside?
Yes. We cover Barkingside and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
