About our asbestos garage roof removal in Winchmore Hill
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about garage blocks and old, cracked sheets.
In Winchmore Hill, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Where we could park
- Labels, if any
- A photo of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Winchmore Hill by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If your business premises in Winchmore Hill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Winchmore Hill: your questions answered
My garage in Winchmore Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Winchmore Hill station?
Yes. Winchmore Hill station is close to the centre of Winchmore Hill, and we cover the whole area.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
