How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hadley Wood
Garage roof removal in Hadley Wood typically includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. We often deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and brittle, leaking roofs.
In Hadley Wood, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal

Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.

FAQs for Hadley Wood
Can you work in Hadley Wood with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Hadley Wood have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
How we price garage roof removal
We base our quote on:
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How easy it is to reach
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- Labels, if any
- A photo of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we’ll advise.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
Duty holders and landlords in Hadley Wood
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hadley Wood
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
These come up again and again:
- Garage conversions
- Lean-to roofs
- Block garages
- Garages due for demolition
In Hadley Wood, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
