Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Angel, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Angel
Do you cover Angel and the area around London Kings Cross station?
Yes. London Kings Cross station is about 0.7 miles west of Angel, and we cover both.
Do you work in Angel despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

Helpful guides
After we’ve finished in Angel
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
