How asbestos garage roof removal works in Millbridge
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about garages due a new roof and broken sheets after high winds.
In a village like Millbridge, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Millbridge
Are garage roofs in Millbridge typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Millbridge from London?
We cover Millbridge, about 37 miles from central London.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

- Brittle, leaking roofs
Across Millbridge, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Millbridge by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Dig out previous surveys
