Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Milford
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage conversions
- Double garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Lean-tos and carports
For rented homes with garages close to Milford (Surrey) station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Milford
How far is Milford from London?
Milford is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Milford (Surrey) station?
Yes. Milford (Surrey) station is about 0.8 miles south-east of Milford, and we cover both.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
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.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.

What affects the price in Milford
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
