Asbestos garage roof removal in Hendon
Questions from Hendon
Is asbestos common in Hendon homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hendon may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Hendon despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hendon
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From concrete-panel garages and roofs to clear before demolition, we cover downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters and more.
Garages around Hendon are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
What it might be made of
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
