What we deal with in Haggerston
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Carport roofs
- Garage blocks
Near open spaces such as Barnsbury Wood, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- The method and controls
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Asbestos garage roof removal in Haggerston
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. From carport roofs and concrete-panel garages, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Haggerston are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
