How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chingford
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From sheet garages and lean-to roofs, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In London neighbourhoods like Chingford, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Chingford
Are garage roofs in Chingford normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Chingford have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you work in Chingford?
Yes. We cover Chingford and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
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?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

What it might be made of
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
