Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Why people call us in Woolstone
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Single garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garage conversions
Older houses in Woolstone, near The Woolstones Community Centre or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before you book anyone
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How fibres will be kept down
- VAT, clearly stated
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Woolstone by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Common questions in Woolstone
Do you cover Woolstone and the area around Milton Keynes Central station?
Yes. Milton Keynes Central station is about 2.2 miles west of Woolstone, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Woolstone have asbestos?
Any home in Woolstone built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
