Asbestos garage roof removal for London Fields properties

Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include pieces of broken roof and concrete-panel garages, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.

In London neighbourhoods like London Fields, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

After the job

Share the paperwork with your builder.

A few practical points:

  • Keep the consignment note afterwards
  • Let neighbours know beforehand
  • Keep children and pets indoors during the work
  • Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone

Avoid these

Keep weight off the roof.

Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Duty holders and landlords in London Fields

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

For managing agents and freeholders in London Fields, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

FAQs for London Fields

Do you work near London Fields station?

Yes, we cover London Fields, including the streets around London Fields station.

My garage in London Fields has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

What happens to the old roof sheets?

They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.

What if my house is newer?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

How quickly can you come out?

We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
