Holloway questions
Could my house in Holloway contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Holloway despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After we have finished:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
