DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Common questions in Newbridge
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.
Do you cover small places like Newbridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is my garage roof in Newbridge asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
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.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Newbridge by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
