How asbestos garage roof removal works in Norton
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Norton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. From concrete-panel garages and block garages, we cover bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a village like Norton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What else we do in Norton
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Norton, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?

Norton: your questions answered
Do you cover Norton and the area around Lymington Pier station?
Yes. Lymington Pier station is about 3.9 miles north of Norton, and we cover both.
Could my house in Norton contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I get a quote?

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Going forward:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
