Asbestos garage roof removal for Finsbury Park properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include garages being knocked down and garage blocks, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In Finsbury Park, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
Your options compared
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Finsbury Park: your questions answered
Do you work near Finsbury Park station?
Yes. Finsbury Park station is close to the centre of Finsbury Park, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in Finsbury Park homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you cover Finsbury Park?
Yes. We cover Finsbury Park and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
