Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
For businesses and landlords in Winchmore Hill
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Typical garage roof jobs in Winchmore Hill
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due for demolition
- Lean-to roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
Older houses in Winchmore Hill, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
