Common questions in Norton
How far is Norton from London?
Norton is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Bishopstone (Sussex) station?
Yes. Bishopstone (Sussex) station is about 1.2 miles south of Norton, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. 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. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Norton
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Carport roofs
- Block garages
If you let a house with a garage near Bishopstone (Sussex) station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

How we work
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Norton by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
