DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Typical jobs in Tottenham Hale include:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Carport roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Older houses in Tottenham Hale, near Tottenham Palace Theatre or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether VAT is included

Your questions about garage roof removal in Tottenham Hale
Do older homes in Tottenham Hale have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Tottenham Hale may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Tottenham Hale station?
Yes, we cover Tottenham Hale, including the streets around Tottenham Hale station.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
