About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hatch End
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Hatch End is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about double garages and garages in a row or block.
Garages around Hatch End are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hatch End, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Hatch End, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Weighing up your options
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. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hatch End
Can you work in Hatch End with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you cover Hatch End and the area around Hatch End station?
Yes. Hatch End station is about 0.6 miles north of Hatch End, and we cover both.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
