Asbestos garage roof removal near Newtown
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and garages due a new roof, involving bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Newtown, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Newtown questions
My garage in Newtown has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Newtown from London?
Newtown is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
After we’ve finished in Newtown
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
After we have finished:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
