Asbestos garage roof removal for Totteridge
Asbestos garage roof removal in Totteridge
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and lean-tos and carports, including cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In Totteridge, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Buckinghamshire still have them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Double garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages due for demolition
Around Gomm's Wood, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.
Before you book anyone
- If the price includes VAT
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
