Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready

Your questions about garage roof removal in Newington
Could my house in Newington contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Newington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you cover Newington?
Yes. We cover Newington and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Prices vary with:
- Parking and access charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Options to consider in Newington
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Accredited laboratory results
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear advice on your options
Read how we quote and published price ranges.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
