Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

FAQs for Northumberland Heath
Do you work in Northumberland Heath despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
My garage in Northumberland Heath 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 for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Garage roof removal in Northumberland Heath is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Northumberland Heath
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Single garages
- Carport roofs
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
In Northumberland Heath, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
