Need garage roof removal in Southgate?
Southgate: your questions answered
Do you cover Southgate and the area around New Southgate station?
Yes. New Southgate station is about 1 mile south-west of Southgate, and we cover both.
Can you work in Southgate with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Southgate
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and garage conversions, including corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Garages around Southgate are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
