Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Kingsland
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are some of the things we deal with in Kingsland:
- Garage blocks
- Garages due for demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages due a new roof
Older houses in Kingsland, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
After we’ve finished in Kingsland
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Kingsland is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

Common questions in Kingsland
Do you work in Kingsland despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Kingsland have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kingsland can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
