Asbestos garage roof removal in East Village
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include block garages and garages being knocked down, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes.
In parts of London like East Village, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Common questions in East Village
Do you cover East Village and the area around Stratford International station?
Yes. Stratford International station is close to the centre of East Village, and we cover the whole area.
Are garage roofs in East Village generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you cover East Village?
Yes, we do: East Village is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
