Asbestos garage roof removal near Dancers Hill
Asbestos garage roof removal in Dancers Hill
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and prefab garages with cement walls.
In London neighbourhoods like Dancers Hill, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.
These come up again and again:
- Single garages
- Garage conversions
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
If you let a house with a garage near Potters Bar station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Dancers Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Dancers Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

Common questions in Dancers Hill
Do you cover Dancers Hill and the area around Potters Bar station?
Yes. Potters Bar station is about 1.5 miles north-east of Dancers Hill, and we cover both.
Can you work in Dancers Hill with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Is my garage roof in Dancers Hill asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
