Asbestos garage roof removal in Finkley Down
Asbestos garage roof removal near Finkley Down
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about sheet garages and double garages.
Rural garages near Finkley Down are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A closer look at the materials

The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor

Finkley Down: your questions answered
My garage in Finkley Down has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Finkley Down from London?
We cover Finkley Down, about 61 miles from central London.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work in Finkley Down?
Yes, Finkley Down is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
