Asbestos garage roof removal in Marden Beech
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Marden Beech
Many garages built before 2000, in Marden Beech and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about garages being knocked down and lean-tos and carports.
In places like Marden Beech, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Marden Beech
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due a new roof
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garage blocks
For rented homes with garages close to Marden station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Marden Beech: your questions answered
My garage in Marden Beech 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.
Do you cover Marden Beech from London?
Marden Beech is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
