Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Domestic and commercial work
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- No removal until we know what it is

Asbestos garage roof removal near Newtimber
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. Whether it’s block garages and roofs to clear before demolition, we cover cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Newtimber, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Newtimber questions
Could my house in Newtimber contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Newtimber?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Newtimber, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Going forward:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never cut or break the sheets.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
- An overall view
