About our asbestos garage roof removal in East End
An old asbestos cement garage roof in East End tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. From garages due a new roof and garages in a row or block, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around East End may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What we deal with in East End
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Oxfordshire still have them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Single garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Garage conversions
Older houses in East End, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

East End questions
Do you cover East End from London?
East End is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in East End usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us a rough size
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
- Re-roofing is normally separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Duty holders and landlords in East End
If you manage or own a block in East End, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
