FAQs for Stamford Hill
Are garage roofs in Stamford Hill generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Stamford Hill and the area around Stamford Hill station?
Yes, we cover Stamford Hill, including the streets around Stamford Hill station.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These come up again and again:
- Garages due for demolition
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Near open spaces such as Woodberry Wetlands, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Any exclusions
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the job needs notifying
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Travel and parking
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access to the area
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
- A picture of the whole area
- Damaged areas
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
After we’ve finished in Stamford Hill
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
