Asbestos garage roof removal in Custom House
Custom House questions
Could my house in Custom House contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Custom House may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Custom House station?
Yes, we cover Custom House, including the streets around Custom House station.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.

Options to consider in Custom House
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Duty holders and landlords in Custom House
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Why people call us in Custom House
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
These are some of the things we deal with in Custom House:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
Older houses in Custom House, near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What paperwork you get
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- The method and controls
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
How we work
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 Custom House by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
