How asbestos garage roof removal works in Newingreen
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, involving cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Newingreen, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
- How we’d reach it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Newingreen by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know where we can park

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Newingreen questions
Do you cover Newingreen from London?
Newingreen is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Westenhanger station?
Yes. Westenhanger station is about 0.6 miles north of Newingreen, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is my garage roof in Newingreen 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.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
