Asbestos garage roof removal near Newington
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Whether it’s pieces of broken roof and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
For managing agents and freeholders in Newington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Common questions in Newington
Do you come out to small villages like Newington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Newington from London?
We cover Newington, about 45 miles from central London.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Single garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garage blocks
Across Newington, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
After we have finished in Newington
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Newington for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
