How asbestos garage roof removal works in Milstead
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and garages in a row or block.
Garages around Milstead may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Milstead
Do you cover Milstead and the area around Sittingbourne station?
Yes, we cover Milstead and the area towards Sittingbourne station, about 3.2 miles north.
My garage in Milstead has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
