Asbestos garage roof removal for Mile Oak properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about garage blocks and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Mile Oak may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Mile Oak
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Double garages
- Garages due for demolition
For rented homes with garages close to Paddock Wood station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What is not included
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Going forward:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Records for your files
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Mile Oak: your questions answered
Do you cover Mile Oak from London?
Mile Oak is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Mile Oak have asbestos?
Any home in Mile Oak built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
