Need garage roof removal in Friday Hill?
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Friday Hill
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages being knocked down and brittle, leaking roofs, involving downpipes, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In Friday Hill, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Friday Hill
Do you work near Chingford station?
Yes, we cover Friday Hill and the area towards Chingford station, about 0.8 miles north.
Is asbestos common in Friday Hill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Friday Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Going forward:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance

- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
For businesses and landlords in Friday Hill
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. We plan garage roof jobs in Friday Hill for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
