About our asbestos garage roof removal in Edgware
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From block garages and sheet garages, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In parts of London like Edgware, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
Why people call us in Edgware
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Sheet garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage blocks
- Lean-tos and carports
If you let a house with a garage near Mill Hill Broadway station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

FAQs for Edgware
Do you work in Edgware despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Edgware contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
