Asbestos garage roof removal for Marsh Gibbon
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Marsh Gibbon
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are sheet garages and broken sheets after high winds.
Garages around Marsh Gibbon may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Marsh Gibbon
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Carport roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages due a new roof
- Single and double garage roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Bicester North station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before you book anyone
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether the job needs notifying
- If the price includes VAT
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear written quotes
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Duty holders and landlords in Marsh Gibbon

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

The process
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Marsh Gibbon by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
Marsh Gibbon: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Marsh Gibbon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Marsh Gibbon have asbestos?
Any home in Marsh Gibbon built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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 does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
