Asbestos garage roof removal near Stratford
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and single garages, we cover ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Stratford, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Stratford: your questions answered
Do you cover Stratford and the area around Stratford (London) station?
Yes, we cover Stratford, including the streets around Stratford (London) station.
My garage in Stratford has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What we deal with in Stratford
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages due for demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Sheet garages
Properties near Old Ford Island may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
