Asbestos garage roof removal near South Tottenham
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and lean-tos and carports, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Garages around South Tottenham are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in South Tottenham
Do older homes in South Tottenham have asbestos?
If your home in South Tottenham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in South Tottenham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.

Yes, we do: South Tottenham is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.

- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand

Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
