Duty holders and landlords in Harringay
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Harringay must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Harringay properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about single garages and pieces of broken roof.
In London neighbourhoods like Harringay, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions to ask before you book
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How fibres will be kept down
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Common questions in Harringay
Are garage roofs in Harringay typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Harringay contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
