How asbestos garage roof removal works in Brompton
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Brompton. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about garage blocks and lean-to roofs.
In places like Brompton, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Brompton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Options to consider in Brompton
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Brompton: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Brompton typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Brompton homes?
Any home in Brompton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
Is my garage roof in Brompton 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.
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What’s included, and what is not
Before booking, note that:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate

The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Brompton by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
