Asbestos help in Milton
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Milton
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Milton. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are garage blocks and storm-damaged sheets.
Garages around Milton may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What we deal with in Milton
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Double garages
- Garage blocks
- Garages due a new roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Near open spaces such as Mowbray Fields, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.

FAQs for Milton
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Milton and the area around Appleford station?
Yes. Appleford station is about 2.5 miles east of Milton, and we cover both.
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 normally quick once we’re set up.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why people choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work done to the regulations
