Asbestos garage roof removal near Millbank
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and garages being knocked down.
In a village like Millbank, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Millbank must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Doing 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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What we deal with in Millbank
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Concrete-panel garages
- Block garages
If you let a house with a garage near Herne Bay station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Millbank questions
Is asbestos common in Millbank homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Millbank can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Millbank?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How do I get a quote?
