Questions from Holloway Down
Do older homes in Holloway Down have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Holloway Down may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Holloway Down with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work in Holloway Down?
Yes, Holloway Down is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Holloway Down
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and broken sheets after high winds, involving cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters.
In Holloway Down, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Duty holders and landlords in Holloway Down
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
After we’ve finished in Holloway Down
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Why people call us in Holloway Down
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
In older properties, we often see:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Lean-to roofs
- Sheet garages
For rented homes with garages close to Maryland station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Before booking anyone
- What category of work it is
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What is not included
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- No removal until we know what it is
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
