Asbestos help in Hampstead Norreys
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hampstead Norreys
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and single garages.
In towns and villages like Hampstead Norreys, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.

For landlords, agents and businesses

What we deal with in Hampstead Norreys

- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs

Common questions in Hampstead Norreys
How far is Hampstead Norreys from London?
Hampstead Norreys is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
