Our asbestos garage roof removal in N15
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about double garages and garages in a row or block.
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- 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

Duty holders and landlords in N15
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
What we deal with in N15
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Typical jobs in N15 include:
- Block garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages due a new roof
Options to consider in N15
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork.
Comparing quotes
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The documents you’ll receive
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Questions from N15
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work in N15?
Yes, N15 is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
