Asbestos help in Newpound Common
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Newpound Common: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Newpound Common generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Newpound Common have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
Read how we price jobs and published price ranges.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
