Asbestos garage roof removal for Newenden properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Newenden and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s broken sheets after high winds and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Newenden are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in Newenden
Do you come out to small villages like Newenden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is my garage roof in Newenden asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you cover Newenden?
Yes, we do: our area includes Newenden and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never cut or break the sheets.
The process
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else comes near. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Newenden is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
