Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.

If you manage or own a block in Stoke Newington, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Stoke Newington must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Stoke Newington
Do you cover Stoke Newington and the area around Stoke Newington station?
Yes, we cover Stoke Newington and the area towards Stoke Newington station, about 0.5 miles east.
My garage in Stoke Newington has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
