Need garage roof removal in Edgware Bury?
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Edgware Bury
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From single garages and sheet garages, we cover cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets and more.

What else we do in Edgware Bury
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
How we work in Edgware Bury

Edgware Bury: your questions answered
Do you work near Elstree & Borehamwood station?
Yes. Elstree & Borehamwood station is about 1.3 miles north of Edgware Bury, and we cover both.
My garage in Edgware Bury 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.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
