About our asbestos garage roof removal in Snaresbrook
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Snaresbrook tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about garages being knocked down and single and double garage roofs.
In parts of London like Snaresbrook, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Snaresbrook
Are garage roofs in Snaresbrook generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Wood Street station?
Yes. Wood Street station is about 0.7 miles west of Snaresbrook, and we cover both.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Helpful guides
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
