Asbestos garage roof removal near Ditton
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ditton
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and storm-damaged sheets.
In a village like Ditton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in Ditton
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Options to consider in Ditton
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Ditton: your questions answered
Do you work near Datchet station?
Yes, we cover Ditton and the area towards Datchet station, about 0.8 miles south-west.
My garage in Ditton 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.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What does licensed work mean?
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
