Asbestos garage roof removal in N22: what to expect
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garage blocks and broken sheets after high winds.
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Garages we deal with in N22
Garages across N22, from Palmers Green, Noel Park and Wood Green to 0 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings.
Noel Park: For garages on or near the A1080, let us know where we can load. Properties near Railway Fields may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once. We plan garage roof jobs in Noel Park for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Options to consider in N22
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What paperwork you get
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.
Typical jobs in N22 include:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages due a new roof
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in N22 must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Questions from N22
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
