Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Pinner Green
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
In Pinner Green, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

FAQs for Pinner Green
Can you work in Pinner Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do older homes in Pinner Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Pinner Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
