FAQs for Hook Norton
Do you cover Hook Norton from London?
Hook Norton is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Hook Norton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
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 normally aren’t licensed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hook Norton
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include carport roofs and storm-damaged sheets, involving cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Hook Norton, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Carport roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage conversions
Across Hook Norton, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

What else we do in Hook Norton
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.

Your options compared
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 is a serious falls risk too. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
