Asbestos garage roof removal for Newbridge
A closer look at the materials

The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Newbridge
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and single garages, including cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around Newbridge may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we have finished:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Newbridge must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What affects the price in Newbridge
What drives the price:
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- How we’d reach it
- The parking area
- A picture of the whole area
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Newbridge questions
Do older homes in Newbridge have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Newbridge has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
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 quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
