Asbestos garage roof removal for Norwood Hill properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof.
Rural garages near Norwood Hill are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

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.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Questions from Norwood Hill
Do you cover Norwood Hill and the area around Horley station?
Yes. Horley station is about 2.8 miles east of Norwood Hill, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
