Asbestos garage roof removal for Marsh Baldon
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Marsh Baldon
If you are not sure your garage roof in Marsh Baldon is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From garage blocks and double garages, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In a village like Marsh Baldon, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Common questions in Marsh Baldon
Do older homes in Marsh Baldon have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Marsh Baldon from London?
Marsh Baldon is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
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 normally quick once we’re set up.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any

How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion. Late-December sunset in Marsh Baldon is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- 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 sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Move things out of the way carefully
