Asbestos garage roof removal near Milford on Sea
Many garages built before 2000, in Milford on Sea and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. From cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In Milford on Sea, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What we deal with in Milford on Sea
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:
- Garages due for demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garage blocks
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Across Milford on Sea, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Milford on Sea
Could my house in Milford on Sea contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Milford on Sea can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Milford on Sea has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
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 help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is my garage roof in Milford on Sea asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
For businesses and landlords in Milford on Sea
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

We take them down in whole lengths.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Read our prices page and our cost guide.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
