Asbestos garage roof removal near Dalston
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why people choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Dalston, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Dalston must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

FAQs for Dalston
Do you work in Dalston despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
My garage in Dalston has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in Dalston?
Yes. We cover Dalston and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
