How asbestos garage roof removal works in Bow
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include sheet garages and double garages, involving bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In places like Bow, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Bow by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Bow questions
Do you cover Bow from London?
We cover Bow, about 61 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Bow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
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.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Every quote reflects:
- The category of work

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:

- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor

What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Bow
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-to roofs
- Garage conversions
- Garage blocks
Older houses in Bow, near Church of St Denys or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
