Asbestos garage roof removal in Upper Street
If you are not sure your garage roof in Upper Street is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s carport roofs and garages due a new roof, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Upper Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Duty holders and landlords in Upper Street
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we deal with in Upper Street
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Brittle, leaking roofs
In Upper Street, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Upper Street by about 4:05pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

Do you work on commercial premises?

What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Can the roof be overclad?
