Asbestos garage roof removal for Upper Clapton properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include sheet garages and pieces of broken roof, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In parts of London like Upper Clapton, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

- The access route
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
How it works
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Upper Clapton by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Carport roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
- Sheet garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
Properties near Woodberry Wetlands may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

FAQs for Upper Clapton
Do you work in Upper Clapton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Could my house in Upper Clapton contain asbestos?
Any home in Upper Clapton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
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.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
