About our asbestos garage roof removal in Walthamstow Village
Many garages built before 2000, in Walthamstow Village and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s garages before a new roof or conversion and old, cracked sheets, we deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Walthamstow Village, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For businesses and landlords in Walthamstow Village
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

FAQs for Walthamstow Village
Do you work in Walthamstow Village despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Are garage roofs in Walthamstow Village generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is my garage roof in Walthamstow Village asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
