DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Over Norton
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage conversions
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Double garages
- Lean-tos and carports
Older houses in Over Norton, near St James or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Over Norton: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Over Norton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Over Norton from London?
Over Norton is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should all asbestos be removed?
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is my garage roof in Over Norton asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
