Common questions in Lissenden Gardens

My garage in Lissenden Gardens has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Do you cover Lissenden Gardens and the area around Gospel Oak station?

Yes, we cover Lissenden Gardens, including the streets around Gospel Oak station.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Where do the sheets go?

They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.

What we deal with in Lissenden Gardens

Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.

People typically contact us about one of these:

  • Garage conversions
  • Broken sheets after high winds
  • Double garages
  • Brittle, leaking roofs

Around Parliament Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Before booking anyone

  • Suitable insurance for the work
  • Where the waste goes, with paperwork
  • Which areas and materials are covered
  • That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor

Choosing an asbestos contractor

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
