Asbestos garage roof removal for Wootton
Asbestos garage roof removal in Wootton
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Wootton is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and prefab garages with cement walls.
In a village like Wootton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Wootton
Do you cover Wootton from London?
We cover Wootton, about 59 miles from central London.
My garage in Wootton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Is my garage roof in Wootton 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.
Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
