About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hadley

Many garages built before 2000, in Hadley and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and storm-damaged sheets, we cover cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces.

In parts of London like Hadley, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What to check before you book

Hadley questions

Are garage roofs in Hadley generally asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.

Can you work in Hadley with London’s parking rules?

Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

Do you take down the walls too?

We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?

A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.

Will I get the price in writing?

Always: you get the scope and price in writing.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Can you help with a flat?

We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Weighing up your options

Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

What you get

  • Clear written quotes
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
  • Houses, flats and business premises
  • Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Hadley garages: local notes

For rented homes with garages close to New Barnet station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. Older houses in Hadley, near Christ Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Wherever your property is in EN5 and EN4, garage roof removal is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Byng Road, Park Road and Dury Road; we cover every one.

Hadley is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, where parking and loading can be restricted: let us know about parking and access when you get in touch.

Nearby you’ll also find Spires Shopping Centre (less than half a mile south-west) and Barnet Urban District (0.5 miles south). The countryside around Hadley includes Darland's Lake and King George's Fields (Monken Hadley).

Can I do it myself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Materials, one by one

Corrugated sheets

Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.

Gutters and downpipes

We take them down in whole lengths.

  • Re-roofing is normally separate

Prices and what affects them

What drives the price:

  • Licensed or non-licensed
  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • How easy it is to reach
  • The quantity or area

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Helping us quote

What to photograph:

  • Visible markings
  • A close-up from a safe distance
  • The access route
  • Cracks or breaks

Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.

Looking after things afterwards

File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.

Staying safe afterwards:

  • Measure or estimate the size of the roof
  • Book your roofer in advance
  • Let neighbours know beforehand
  • Photos of the garage and the way in help

Things not to do

Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
