Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Little Ilford
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage blocks, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In Little Ilford, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After we’ve finished in Little Ilford
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size

Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
The process
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Little Ilford is about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Common questions in Little Ilford
Are garage roofs in Little Ilford usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Little Ilford with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
