Asbestos garage roof removal near Fleet Marston
Asbestos garage roof removal in Fleet Marston
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Fleet Marston. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include storm-damaged sheets and sheet garages, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Fleet Marston are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in Fleet Marston by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- You get the waste paperwork
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know if something’s broken

Questions from Fleet Marston
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
My garage in Fleet Marston has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is my garage roof in Fleet Marston asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
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 typically quick once we’re set up.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
After we’ve finished in Fleet Marston
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Duty holders and landlords in Fleet Marston
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
Your options compared
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
