Asbestos garage roof removal for The Hale properties
Many garages built before 2000, in The Hale and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and broken sheets after high winds.
In London neighbourhoods like The Hale, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Options to consider in The Hale
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

FAQs for The Hale
Do you work near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes. Mill Hill Broadway station is about 0.7 miles south-east of The Hale, and we cover both.
Could my house in The Hale contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in The Hale may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is my garage roof in The Hale asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
