Asbestos garage roof removal in Dagenham Green
Asbestos garage roof removal for Dagenham Green properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about garage conversions and block garages.
In Dagenham Green, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work done to the regulations
- Across London and the South East
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

- An overall view
You will get a written quote. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details.
Good to know

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages being knocked down
- Carport roofs
In Dagenham Green, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Dagenham Green
Do older homes in Dagenham Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dagenham Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Dagenham Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
