How asbestos garage roof removal works in New Romney
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and lean-to roofs.
Homes in areas like New Romney often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about garage roof removal in New Romney
My garage in New Romney has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in New Romney homes?
Any home in New Romney built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
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.

We do: our area includes New Romney and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
