Need garage roof removal in New Marston?
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in New Marston were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Asbestos garage roof removal in New Marston
An old asbestos cement garage roof in New Marston tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about block garages and single and double garage roofs, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like New Marston, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Going forward:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Choosing the right option

Common questions in New Marston
Are garage roofs in New Marston normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover New Marston from London?
New Marston is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
