About our asbestos garage roof removal in Newland Green
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and block garages, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and cement wall panels and more.
Garages around Newland Green may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Newland Green questions
Are garage roofs in Newland Green normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Newland Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you work in Newland Green?
Yes, we do: Newland Green is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.

- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these

Duty holders and landlords in Newland Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- 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
