About our asbestos garage roof removal in Mile End
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about lean-to roofs and garage blocks.
In London neighbourhoods like Mile End, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Mile End questions
Do you cover Mile End and the area around Limehouse station?
Yes, we cover Mile End and the area towards Limehouse station, about 0.9 miles south.
Can you work in Mile End with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Mile End
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
For rented homes with garages close to Limehouse station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

A few things to be aware of:
