How asbestos garage roof removal works in Newtown
We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across Newtown. Tell us the size and send photos. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and brittle, leaking roofs.
In a village like Newtown, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What it might be made of
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Newtown is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Newtown
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you manage or own a block in Newtown, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

FAQs for Newtown
Do you come out to small villages like Newtown?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Newtown contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Is my garage roof in Newtown asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we’re set up.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
