What else we do in West Ham
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Across London and the South East
- Clear advice on your options

Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage blocks
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Double garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Around Old Ford Island, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What category of work it is
- Whether VAT is included
- Suitable insurance for the work
How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in West Ham for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged

After we have finished in West Ham
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Questions from West Ham
Could my house in West Ham contain asbestos?
Any home in West Ham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in West Ham normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
