Asbestos garage roof removal for Norton properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From broken sheets after high winds and carport roofs, we cover corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Garages around Norton may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Norton
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Norton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

- Street parking nearby
- A photo of the whole area
- A clear close-up

How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note

Norton questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Are garage roofs in Norton generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards

Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
