Afterwards

Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know beforehand

- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Milcombe
Many garages built before 2000, in Milcombe and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From garage blocks and single and double garage roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces and more.
Rural garages near Milcombe are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Location, parking and any London charges

Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear written quotes
- Clear advice on your options
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Milcombe: your questions answered
How far is Milcombe from London?
Milcombe is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Milcombe typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
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 generally aren’t licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How we work
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. Parking close by makes the day easier. Garage roof removal in Milcombe is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:30pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully

What it might be made of
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Duty holders and landlords in Milcombe
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
