Typical garage roof jobs in Bow
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Old, cracked sheets
For rented homes with garages close to Hackney Wick station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before you book anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The documents you will receive
- The scope of the job, in writing
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Materials we deal with

Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Bow questions
Could my house in Bow contain asbestos?
If your home in Bow was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Bow generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- High winds can delay roof work
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- An overall view
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
After we’ve finished in Bow
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
