About our asbestos garage roof removal in Leyton

Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.

Garages around Leyton are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Two workers removing a sheet from a garage

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Which option is right?

Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
