About our asbestos garage roof removal in Norbiton
If you are not sure your garage roof in Norbiton is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include carport roofs and storm-damaged sheets, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In Norbiton, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Norbiton questions
Are garage roofs in Norbiton normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Norbiton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Options to consider in Norbiton
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
