Asbestos garage roof removal for Newington Green properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about concrete-panel garages and broken sheets after high winds, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In London neighbourhoods like Newington Green, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Other services in Newington Green
Newington Green: your questions answered
Do older homes in Newington Green have asbestos?
If your home in Newington Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Newington Green normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Typical jobs in Newington Green include:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage blocks
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
If you let a house with a garage near Canonbury station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Newington Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
