Questions from Enfield Lock
Can you work in Enfield Lock with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
My garage in Enfield Lock has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Enfield Lock
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and typical jobs are block garages and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In Enfield Lock, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

For businesses and landlords in Enfield Lock
For managing agents and freeholders in Enfield Lock, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

- Gutters and downpipes

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Accredited laboratory results
Read how we quote and our cost guide.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Disposal costs
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A clear close-up
- Where we could park
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Why people call us in Enfield Lock

- Double garages
- Sheet garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages in a row or block
Properties near Bowyer's Water may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
