What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we deal with in Marcham
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages in a row or block
In Marcham, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Marcham
How far is Marcham from London?
We cover Marcham, about 55 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Marcham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Marcham can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
