How asbestos garage roof removal works in Barnet
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garages being knocked down, involving bargeboards, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Barnet are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Barnet
Is asbestos common in Barnet homes?
Any home in Barnet built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Barnet and the area around New Barnet station?
Yes, we cover Barnet and the area towards New Barnet station, about 0.6 miles east.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work on commercial premises?

Is my garage roof in Barnet asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
