About our asbestos garage roof removal in Manor House
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From broken sheets after high winds and garages due for demolition, we cover ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Manor House, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Manor House, 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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Common questions in Manor House
My garage in Manor House has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Harringay Green Lanes station?
Yes, we cover Manor House, including the streets around Harringay Green Lanes station.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you cover Manor House?
Yes. We cover Manor House and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Manor House
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage conversions
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Double garages
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A503, tell us about parking and access.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
