How asbestos garage roof removal works in Knapp
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. We often deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports.
Garages around Knapp may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Questions from Knapp
Do you come out to small villages like Knapp?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Knapp homes?
Any home in Knapp built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
What happens
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Knapp by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Knapp, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
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.

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces

Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages due a new roof
If you let a house with a garage near Chandlers Ford station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
