Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Newport properties
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and single garages, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In towns like Newport, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, and many are now brittle. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Newport
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across the Isle of Wight still have them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single garages
- Garage blocks
Garages on busy roads like the A3020 and A3054 need loading planned in advance.

Newport: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Newport homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Newport typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
