How asbestos garage roof removal works in Milton Heights
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and old, cracked sheets.
Rural garages near Milton Heights are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Milton Heights must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
