Questions from Bowes Park
Can you work in Bowes Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Are garage roofs in Bowes Park generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What if my house is newer?
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.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Is my garage roof in Bowes Park asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bowes Park
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and prefab garages with cement walls.
Garages around Bowes Park are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. We plan garage roof jobs in Bowes Park for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- 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
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access

Choosing the right option
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
