Typical garage roof jobs in Heron Quays
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Single and double garage roofs
- Sheet garages
- Block garages
For rented homes with garages close to Canary Wharf station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Questions from Heron Quays
Could my house in Heron Quays contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Heron Quays may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Heron Quays and the area around Canary Wharf station?
Yes, we cover Heron Quays, including the streets around Canary Wharf station.
Do you cover Heron Quays?
Yes, we do: Heron Quays is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Is my garage roof in Heron Quays asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
