Questions from Milebush
Do you work near Marden station?
Yes. Marden station is about 1.1 miles south-west of Milebush, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Milebush usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
What affects the price in Milebush
Prices vary with:
- How easy it is to reach
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The survey scope
- Material and condition
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
- Visible markings
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.

What else we do in Milebush
Typical garage roof jobs in Milebush
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages in a row or block
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Sheet garages
Older houses in Milebush, near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
