Asbestos garage roof removal near Tufnell Park
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From broken sheets after high winds and garages in a row or block, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In parts of London like Tufnell Park, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Tufnell Park: your questions answered
Do you work in Tufnell Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Tufnell Park and the area around Upper Holloway station?
Yes. Upper Holloway station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Tufnell Park, and we cover both.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Duty holders and landlords in Tufnell Park
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Tufnell Park, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What happens next
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
