Asbestos garage roof removal for Newnham properties
We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across Newnham. Photos and rough sizes help us quote. From garages being knocked down and lean-tos and carports, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
In a village like Newnham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Newnham
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Newnham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
