Asbestos garage roof removal for Marsh Green
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Marsh Green
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs.
In areas like Marsh Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Marsh Green questions
Are garage roofs in Marsh Green generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Marsh Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is my garage roof in Marsh Green asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
