Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Blackwall questions
Can you work in Blackwall with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
My garage in Blackwall has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
