Asbestos garage roof removal across EC2Y
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around EC2Y. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and block garages.
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
What you will pay
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Your questions about garage roof removal in EC2Y
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you cover EC2Y?
Yes, EC2Y is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
