Asbestos garage roof removal near High Barnet
If you’re not sure your garage roof in High Barnet is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garages due for demolition, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around High Barnet are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

High Barnet questions
Do you work near Hadley Wood station?
Yes, we cover High Barnet and the area towards Hadley Wood station, about 1.6 miles north-east.
Is asbestos common in High Barnet homes?
If your home in High Barnet was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
- Travel and parking
- Waste quantity and disposal
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

Helpful photos:
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
