Asbestos garage roof removal for Wennington properties
If you are not sure your garage roof in Wennington is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and carport roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces and more.
In parts of London like Wennington, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What it might be made of
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages being knocked down
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Near open spaces such as Rainham Marshes Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.

Wennington: your questions answered
Do you work near Rainham (Essex) station?
Yes, we cover Wennington and the area towards Rainham (Essex) station, about 1.4 miles north-west.
Could my house in Wennington contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wennington can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
For businesses and landlords in Wennington
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
How we work
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Wennington by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare

- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
