Asbestos garage roof removal in Bethnal Green
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Bethnal Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include storm-damaged sheets and garages due for demolition, including cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In Bethnal Green, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bethnal Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
The process
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else comes near. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Bethnal Green for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

Why people call us in Bethnal Green
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Typical jobs in Bethnal Green include:
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Broken sheets after high winds
Around Tower Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What paperwork you get
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the waste paperwork
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Questions from Bethnal Green
Can you work in Bethnal Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is asbestos common in Bethnal Green homes?
If your home in Bethnal Green 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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
