Asbestos garage roof removal for Little Wittenham
Asbestos garage roof removal for Little Wittenham properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Little Wittenham and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about block garages and lean-to roofs, involving downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Little Wittenham are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Afterwards
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.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
