Asbestos garage roof removal near Mackney
Many garages built before 2000, in Mackney and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about broken sheets after high winds and old, cracked sheets.
In a village like Mackney, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Mackney questions
Do you cover Mackney from London?
We cover Mackney, about 46 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Mackney 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 Mackney can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
