Asbestos garage roof removal near Ponders End
Asbestos garage roof removal in Ponders End
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Ponders End tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes, and typical jobs are sheet garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In Ponders End, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Questions from Ponders End
Do older homes in Ponders End have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Ponders End normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
