Asbestos garage roof removal near Newchurch
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Newchurch is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and block garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
In a village like Newchurch, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

FAQs for Newchurch
Do you work near Ham Street station?

Are garage roofs in Newchurch normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
