Questions from Midanbury
Do you cover Midanbury from London?
We cover Midanbury, about 68 miles from central London.
Could my house in Midanbury contain asbestos?
Any home in Midanbury built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Options to consider in Midanbury
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What we deal with in Midanbury
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
- Double garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you let a house with a garage near Bitterne station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What to look for in a quote

- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Any exclusions
- VAT, clearly stated
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Midanbury were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Midanbury
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Late-December sunset in Midanbury is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
