Asbestos garage roof removal near Upper Holloway
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and concrete-panel garages, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Garages around Upper Holloway 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. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate

Your questions about garage roof removal in Upper Holloway
Do you work in Upper Holloway despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Are garage roofs in Upper Holloway normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
