Asbestos garage roof removal for Norton Green properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Norton Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about double garages and lean-tos and carports.
Rural garages near Norton Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After we have finished:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

FAQs for Norton Green
Is asbestos common in Norton Green homes?
If your home in Norton Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Norton Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you run a business from older premises in Norton Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
