Asbestos garage roof removal near Wootton
If you are 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. We often deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and storm-damaged sheets.
Rural garages near Wootton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Oxfordshire still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Concrete-panel garages
Properties near Blenheim Farm may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
