How asbestos garage roof removal works in Crouch End
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical materials include cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and prefab garages with cement walls.
Garages around Crouch End are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We only recommend work that is needed.

Crouch End questions
Do you work near Crouch Hill station?
Yes, we cover Crouch End and the area towards Crouch Hill station, about 0.7 miles south-east.
Do you work in Crouch End despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
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.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in Crouch End?
We do: our area includes Crouch End and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Crouch End
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.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
