Asbestos garage roof removal in Marshborough
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Marshborough
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. From garages due for demolition and sheet garages, we cover bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters and more.
Rural garages near Marshborough are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Marshborough: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Marshborough?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Marshborough contain asbestos?
Any home in Marshborough built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Options to consider in Marshborough
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Helpful guides
After we’ve finished in Marshborough
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once we’re done:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
