About our asbestos garage roof removal in Agar Town
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From prefab garages with cement walls and garage conversions, we cover bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels and more.
Garages around Agar Town are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Agar Town must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Agar Town
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
What we deal with in Agar Town
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages due a new roof
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages being knocked down
Properties near Barnsbury Wood may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

How we price garage roof removal
Every quote reflects:
- How much there is
- How much waste there is
- The type of material and its condition
- Travel and parking
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Approximate dimensions
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A clear close-up
- Where we could park
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in Agar Town by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- 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
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Dig out previous surveys
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

FAQs for Agar Town
Do you work near Camden Road station?
Yes, we cover Agar Town, including the streets around Camden Road station.
My garage in Agar Town has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is my garage roof in Agar Town asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
