Asbestos garage roof removal for Kentish Town properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Garages around Kentish Town are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.

What else we do in Kentish Town
For businesses and landlords in Kentish Town
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Kentish Town, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single garages
- Block garages
- Carport roofs
- Garages being knocked down
Near open spaces such as Adelaide Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- The method and controls
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
