About our asbestos garage roof removal in Compton
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From single and double garage roofs and broken sheets after high winds, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes and more.
Garages around Compton may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
What we deal with in Compton
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across West Sussex still have them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Block garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Near open spaces such as Compton Down, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Before booking anyone

Your questions about garage roof removal in Compton
Do you cover Compton from London?
We cover Compton, about 53 miles from central London.
Could my house in Compton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Compton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Duty holders and landlords in Compton
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
