Asbestos garage roof removal for Turnpike Lane properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Turnpike Lane. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and pieces of broken roof, involving bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
Garages around Turnpike Lane are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.

FAQs for Turnpike Lane
Do you cover Turnpike Lane and the area around Hornsey station?
Yes. Hornsey station is close to the centre of Turnpike Lane, and we cover the whole area.
Can you work in Turnpike Lane with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Turnpike Lane by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep children and pets away on the day
