Asbestos help in Compton
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Compton
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Compton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.

What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Once we’re done:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Compton questions
How far is Compton from London?
We cover Compton, about 30 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Compton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
- The type of material and its condition
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Compton were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
