What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. It helps if we can park nearby. We plan garage roof jobs in Upper Edmonton for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know if something’s broken

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
These come up again and again:
- Garages due for demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Double garages
- Garage blocks
Older houses in Upper Edmonton, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

FAQs for Upper Edmonton
Do you cover Upper Edmonton and the area around Silver Street station?
Yes. Silver Street station is close to the centre of Upper Edmonton, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Upper Edmonton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Upper Edmonton may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
