Asbestos help in New Southgate

Where asbestos turns up

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

Common situations in older properties include:

  • Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
  • Concrete-panel garages
  • Storm-damaged sheets
  • Garages in a row or block

If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A1003 and A1110, tell us about parking and access.

What your quote should include

  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
  • What category of work it is
  • Which areas and materials are covered
  • How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note

What to check before booking

Asbestos garage roof removal in New Southgate

If you’re not sure your garage roof in New Southgate is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. From garage conversions and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces.

In New Southgate, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Questions from New Southgate

Are garage roofs in New Southgate normally asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Do you work in New Southgate despite London parking restrictions?

Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.

Where do the sheets go?

Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.

Do you give written quotes?

Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

What paperwork will I get?

It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Weighing up your options

Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What you get

  • Waste paperwork for every removal
  • Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
  • Written quotes that say what’s included
  • Houses, flats and business premises
