Asbestos garage roof removal in Staples Corner
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and garages being knocked down, we deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Garages around Staples Corner are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes

Common questions in Staples Corner
Are garage roofs in Staples Corner usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Brent Cross West station?
Yes. Brent Cross West station is close to the centre of Staples Corner, and we cover the whole area.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
What we deal with in Staples Corner
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Single garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Across Staples Corner, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
