Asbestos help in Haverstock
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Haverstock must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
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.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Haverstock
Many garages built before 2000, in Haverstock and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From sheet garages and single garages, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters.
Garages around Haverstock are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Choosing the right option
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. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Clear advice on your options
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
See how we quote or published price ranges.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Going forward:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Haverstock questions
Can you work in Haverstock with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Are garage roofs in Haverstock usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
