Asbestos garage roof removal for St Mary in the Marsh
How asbestos garage roof removal works in St Mary in the Marsh
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and brittle, leaking roofs, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near St Mary in the Marsh are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
- The access route
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.

After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Some practical advice:
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

Your questions about garage roof removal in St Mary in the Marsh
Do you come out to small villages like St Mary in the Marsh?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in St Mary in the Marsh has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
