Asbestos garage roof removal in Upper Farringdon
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include single garages and block garages, including corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Upper Farringdon are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Upper Farringdon: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Upper Farringdon homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Upper Farringdon from London?
Upper Farringdon is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
