Garage roofs across EN3
From Ponders End, Enfield Highway and Enfield Lock to its villages, EN3 has many older garages with cement roofs. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings.
Ponders End: Garages on busy roads like the A1010 need loading planned in advance. Near open spaces such as Pole Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together. In December, it’s dark in Ponders End by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in EN3, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
EN3 questions
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
