Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Marsh Benham.

Typical materials include downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and pieces of broken roof.
In towns and villages like Marsh Benham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.
