Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Common questions in New Pound
My garage in New Pound has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Wateringbury station?
Yes, we cover New Pound and the area towards Wateringbury station, about 2.8 miles south-east.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
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.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Helpful photos:
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
