Asbestos garage roof removal in Farringdon
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and garage blocks, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around Farringdon are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Farringdon 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.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Questions from Farringdon
Do you cover Farringdon and the area around Farringdon station?
Yes. Farringdon station is close to the centre of Farringdon, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in Farringdon despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Farringdon is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
