Our asbestos garage roof removal in EN2
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include pieces of broken roof and sheet garages, including bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters.
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away.

EN2: garages, outbuildings and roofs
Garages across EN2, from Enfield, Enfield Chase and Bush Hill Park to 3 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings.
Enfield Chase: Across Enfield Chase, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. For rented homes with garages close to Enfield Chase station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. We plan garage roof jobs in Enfield Chase for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
Keep weight off the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
For businesses and landlords in EN2
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Questions from EN2
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
