Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around North End. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and sheet garages, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.

Your questions about garage roof removal in North End
Do older homes in North End have asbestos?
Any home in North End built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover North End and the area around Slade Green station?
Yes. Slade Green station is close to the centre of North End, and we cover the whole area.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
