Asbestos garage roof removal in Hampton
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garage blocks.
In Hampton, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For businesses and landlords in Hampton
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Hampton questions
My garage in Hampton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Hampton from London?
We cover Hampton, about 52 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

Choosing the right option
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
