Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Oxfordshire still have them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
Older houses in Marston, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

What else we do in Marston
Marston: your questions answered
How far is Marston from London?
We cover Marston, about 53 miles from central London.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 2.2 miles south-west of Marston, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
