How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wood Green
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and lean-to roofs.
In London neighbourhoods like Wood Green, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What else we do in Wood Green
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wood Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- High winds can delay roof work
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Wood Green
Do older homes in Wood Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Wood Green and the area around Alexandra Palace station?
Yes. Alexandra Palace station is about 0.5 miles west of Wood Green, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Typical jobs in Wood Green include:
- Garage conversions
- Carport roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
In Wood Green, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
