A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing. In December, it’s dark in Newell Green by about 3:55pm, 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

Questions from Newell Green
Do you work near Bracknell station?
Yes, we cover Newell Green and the area towards Bracknell station, about 1.4 miles south.
Are garage roofs in Newell Green normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.
