For businesses and landlords in Norlington
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Garage roof removal in Norlington is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any parking restrictions

Norlington questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My garage in Norlington has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you cover Norlington?
We do: our area includes Norlington and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
