Asbestos garage roof removal in Millbank
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and people generally contact us about garage blocks and garages due a new roof.
Garages around Millbank are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Millbank questions
Are garage roofs in Millbank normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Millbank contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Millbank may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What happens next
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.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
How we work
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Millbank by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
How to get a quote
