How asbestos garage roof removal works in Broadwater Farm
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garages being knocked down and prefab garages with cement walls, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In Broadwater Farm, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Broadwater Farm
My garage in Broadwater Farm has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Broadwater Farm and the area around Bruce Grove station?
Yes. Bruce Grove station is about 0.5 miles east of Broadwater Farm, and we cover both.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Where asbestos turns up
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garage blocks
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A10, tell us about parking and access.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
For businesses and landlords in Broadwater Farm
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
