About our asbestos garage roof removal in Leyton Grange
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Leyton Grange all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garages due for demolition, including downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Leyton Grange are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. The work area is kept clear while we are working. Late-December sunset in Leyton Grange is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

FAQs for Leyton Grange
Do you work near Leyton Midland Road station?
Yes, we cover Leyton Grange and the area towards Leyton Midland Road station, about 0.6 miles north-east.
My garage in Leyton Grange has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you work in Leyton Grange?
Yes, we do: our area includes Leyton Grange and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
After we’ve finished in Leyton Grange
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Double garages
- Sheet garages
- Carport roofs
Near open spaces such as Hollow Pond, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
