Asbestos garage roof removal for Duncton properties
If you are not sure your garage roof in Duncton is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From garages due a new roof and garages due for demolition, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In a village like Duncton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What else we do in Duncton
The scope of garage roof removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor

Common materials
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
After we have finished in Duncton
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Questions from Duncton
Is asbestos common in Duncton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Duncton from London?
We cover Duncton, about 45 miles from central London.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.

Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.

Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
What happens
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Duncton by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
