About our asbestos garage roof removal in Newdigate
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From concrete-panel garages and carport roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters and more.
Rural garages near Newdigate are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Helpful guides
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Questions from Newdigate
Do you work near Holmwood station?
Yes. Holmwood station is about 1.7 miles north-west of Newdigate, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Newdigate generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I know if my garage roof is 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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
DIY and asbestos
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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
