Asbestos garage roof removal for West Norwood
West Norwood questions
Could my house in West Norwood contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in West Norwood can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near West Norwood station?
Yes, we cover West Norwood and the area towards West Norwood station, about 0.5 miles north-west.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Asbestos garage roof removal in West Norwood
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. From sheet garages and lean-tos and carports, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Garages around West Norwood are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What else we do in West Norwood
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in West Norwood, 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.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
