Asbestos garage roof removal near Fish Island
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 ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and garages due a new roof.
In Fish Island, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

- Keep pets and children inside

FAQs for Fish Island
Do you cover Fish Island and the area around Hackney Wick station?
Yes. Hackney Wick station is close to the centre of Fish Island, and we cover the whole area.
Are garage roofs in Fish Island usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
For businesses and landlords in Fish Island
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Fish Island
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Double garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-to roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Hackney Wick station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
