About our asbestos garage roof removal in Duckett's Green
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From old, cracked sheets and garages in a row or block, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Duckett's Green, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Duckett's Green questions
Do you cover Duckett's Green and the area around Hornsey station?
Yes, we cover Duckett's Green and the area towards Hornsey station, about 0.7 miles west.
My garage in Duckett's Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
