About our asbestos garage roof removal in East Finchley
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and concrete-panel garages, including corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In London neighbourhoods like East Finchley, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
For businesses and landlords in East Finchley
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in East Finchley must 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.
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
