Newnham Murren: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Newnham Murren?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Newnham Murren from London?
We cover Newnham Murren, about 44 miles from central London.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you take down the walls too?
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?
We need access to every area in the job.
Your options compared
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

What it might be made of
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
Helpful photos:
- The access route
- Where we could park
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A rough size or measurement
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
Going forward:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Where asbestos turns up
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garage conversions
- Single and double garage roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
Around Cholsey Marsh, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
