About our asbestos removal in Marden
Found asbestos during building work in Marden? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and cement water tanks in lofts, we cover flue pipes, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
Homes in Marden with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Questions from Marden
Do you cover Marden and the area around Marden station?
Yes, we cover Marden, including the streets around Marden station.
Do older homes in Marden have asbestos?
If your home in Marden was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How it works
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. We plan outdoor jobs in Marden to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

What else we do in Marden
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
