About our asbestos garage roof removal in Littleton
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about lean-tos and carports and double garages.
In a village like Littleton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
- A photo of the whole area
- Street parking nearby
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we will recommend the right option.
Questions from Littleton
Are garage roofs in Littleton typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Littleton from London?
We cover Littleton, about 29 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.

Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Other services in Littleton
For businesses and landlords in Littleton
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
The scope of garage roof removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Littleton
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
These come up again and again:
- Carport roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Roofs to clear before demolition
For rented homes with garages close to Farncombe station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
