Asbestos garage roof removal for West Hackney properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around West Hackney. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and garages before a new roof or conversion, including bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around West Hackney are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you give written quotes?

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
