About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bishopsgate
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and garages being knocked down, we cover downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces and more.
Garages around Bishopsgate may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Bishopsgate
Are garage roofs in Bishopsgate generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Bishopsgate from London?
We cover Bishopsgate, about 22 miles from central London.
Do you cover Bishopsgate?
Yes, we do: Bishopsgate is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
