Asbestos garage roof removal in Compton
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and double garages.
In a village like Compton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Common questions in Compton
Are garage roofs in Compton usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Compton from London?
We cover Compton, about 50 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
