Asbestos help in Norham Manor
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Norham Manor
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and broken sheets after high winds.
In places like Norham Manor, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What else we do in Norham Manor
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Norham Manor questions
Do you cover Norham Manor and the area around Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 1 mile south-west of Norham Manor, and we cover both.
My garage in Norham Manor has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
