Milton Street: your questions answered
Do you work near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes. Berwick (Sussex) station is about 1.8 miles north of Milton Street, and we cover both.
How far is Milton Street from London?
Milton Street is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
