Asbestos garage roof removal in Enfield
Many garages built before 2000, in Enfield and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and single garages, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Enfield, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Common questions in Enfield
Can you work in Enfield with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Enfield homes?
Any home in Enfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Duty holders and landlords in Enfield
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Enfield 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.
If your business premises in Enfield were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
