About asbestos garage roof removal in E13
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and single garages, including ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note

Garage roof removal in E13

If you let a house with a garage near West Ham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. Late-December sunset in Plaistow is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof.
What your quote should include
- What category of work it is
- What paperwork you get
- VAT, clearly stated
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Your questions about garage roof removal in E13
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
