About our asbestos garage roof removal in East Street
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around East Street. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and prefab garages with cement walls.
In places like East Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What affects the price in East Street

- Licensed or non-licensed
- How easy it is to reach

What to photograph

- A picture of the whole area

You’ll get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

East Street questions
Do you cover small places like East Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover East Street from London?
We cover East Street, about 62 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work in East Street?
We do: our area includes East Street and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Duty holders and landlords in East Street
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

What we deal with in East Street
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Lean-tos and carports
Older houses in East Street, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Avoid these
