About our asbestos garage roof removal in Marlow Common
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about block garages and brittle, leaking roofs.
In a village like Marlow Common, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Marlow Common questions
Do you cover Marlow Common and the area around Marlow station?
Yes. Marlow station is about 1.9 miles east of Marlow Common, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Marlow Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
