About our asbestos garage roof removal in Northumberland Park
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and sheet garages, including cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In Northumberland Park, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Don’ts

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Questions from Northumberland Park
Is asbestos common in Northumberland Park homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Northumberland Park and the area around Northumberland Park (London) station?
Yes, we cover Northumberland Park, including the streets around Northumberland Park (London) station.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Is my garage roof in Northumberland Park asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Duty holders and landlords in Northumberland Park
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
