Asbestos garage roof removal near Newfound
Asbestos garage roof removal for Newfound properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about lean-to roofs and concrete-panel garages.
Rural garages near Newfound are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Going forward:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

A closer look at the materials

Towns and villages near Newfound
FAQs for Newfound
Do you come out to small villages like Newfound?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Newfound has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
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 take a sample without going on the roof.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
