Asbestos help in Church Norton
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Church Norton
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From garages due a new roof and garages being knocked down, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes.
In a village like Church Norton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Church Norton
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are some of the things we deal with in Church Norton:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages in a row or block
If you let a house with a garage near Bognor Regis station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Written quotes that say what’s included
Take a look at how we quote and our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
