Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Higham Hill
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Carport roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages being knocked down
Around Ainslie Wood, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- How fibres will be kept down
- The documents you’ll receive
- Any exclusions
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- The size of the job
- Material and condition
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A photo of the whole area
- Damaged areas
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Send us the address in Higham Hill, a description and some photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Clear written quotes

Higham Hill: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Higham Hill homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Higham Hill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Higham Hill and the area around Northumberland Park (London) station?
Yes, we cover Higham Hill and the area towards Northumberland Park (London) station, about 0.8 miles west.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
