In a village like Compton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Compton
Is asbestos common in Compton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Compton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Compton from London?
We cover Compton, about 63 miles from central London.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
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.
