Asbestos garage roof removal in Redbridge
Asbestos garage roof removal in Redbridge
Many garages built before 2000, in Redbridge and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and garage conversions, involving cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Garages around Redbridge may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Redbridge
Do you cover small places like Redbridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Redbridge from London?
Redbridge is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Doing it yourself?
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.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- High winds can delay roof work
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

What we deal with in Redbridge
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garages in a row or block
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Sheet garages
- Single garages
If you are a landlord with garages near Oxford station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Any exclusions
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Materials, one by one
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area

Weighing up your options
