Asbestos garage roof removal in Chingford Hatch
Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear advice on your options
- Written quotes that say what’s included

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chingford Hatch
If you are not sure your garage roof in Chingford Hatch is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s garages due for demolition and block garages, we deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In parts of London like Chingford Hatch, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Helpful guides
Chingford Hatch questions
Is asbestos common in Chingford Hatch homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Chingford Hatch and the area around Highams Park station?
Yes. Highams Park station is about 0.7 miles south of Chingford Hatch, and we cover both.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Should you do it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
