How asbestos garage roof removal works in Canary Wharf
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Whether it’s garage blocks and broken sheets after high winds, we cover bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Garages around Canary Wharf are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Canary Wharf, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Canary Wharf: your questions answered
Can you work in Canary Wharf with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Canary Wharf and the area around Canary Wharf station?
Yes. Canary Wharf station is close to the centre of Canary Wharf, and we cover the whole area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate

What it costs
When we quote, we look at:

- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Damaged areas
- Where we could park
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
You will get a written quote. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
How we work
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. We plan garage roof jobs in Canary Wharf for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Mention any damage before we arrive
