Milton-next-Gravesend: your questions answered

How far is Milton-next-Gravesend from London?

Milton-next-Gravesend is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.

Could my house in Milton-next-Gravesend contain asbestos?

If your home in Milton-next-Gravesend was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

Is my garage roof in Milton-next-Gravesend asbestos?

Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

Will I get the price in writing?

Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

Why people call us in Milton-next-Gravesend

Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.

Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:

  • Garage blocks
  • Single garages
  • Lean-tos and carports
  • Storm-damaged sheets

If you let a house with a garage near Gravesend station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

What to check before booking

Step by step

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Parking close by makes the day easier. We plan garage roof jobs in Milton-next-Gravesend for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

  1. Give us the size of the garage and the access
  2. We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
  3. We quote and book a date around your roofer
  4. We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
  5. The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

Before we arrive

  • Clear access to the area, loft or garage
  • Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
  • Let us know if something’s broken

Afterwards

We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.

Keeping things safe:

  • Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Send photos of the whole garage and the access
  • Keep children and pets indoors during the work

What to avoid

Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Should you do it yourself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

What’s included, and what is not

The usual limits are:

  • Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
  • Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
  • High winds can delay roof work

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What we deal with

  • Cement wall panels
  • Bargeboards
  • Fixings and bolts
  • Roof felt
  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Corrugated cement sheets
