Asbestos garage roof removal near Walthamstow
Asbestos garage roof removal in Walthamstow
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From lean-tos and carports and pieces of broken roof, we cover bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Garages around Walthamstow are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Yes, we cover Walthamstow, including the streets around Walthamstow Central station.
My garage in Walthamstow has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Walthamstow, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
