Asbestos help in Norwood Green
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Norwood Green
Many garages built before 2000, in Norwood Green and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s single garages and garage blocks, we cover cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels and more.
In Norwood Green, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much waste there is
- How much there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. Late-December sunset in Norwood Green is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

The scope of garage roof removal
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Norwood Green
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

- Waste paperwork for every removal
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Norwood Green questions
Do older homes in Norwood Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Norwood Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is my garage roof in Norwood Green 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.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
