North Harrow questions
Do you cover North Harrow and the area around Harrow-on-the-Hill station?
Yes. Harrow-on-the-Hill station is about 1.2 miles east of North Harrow, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in North Harrow usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Asbestos garage roof removal near North Harrow
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around North Harrow. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garage blocks.
In North Harrow, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Options to consider in North Harrow
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
