Asbestos garage roof removal in Knatts Valley

What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Duty holders and landlords in Knatts Valley
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Knatts Valley were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Knatts Valley questions
Are garage roofs in Knatts Valley generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Knatts Valley and the area around Kemsing station?
Yes, we cover Knatts Valley and the area towards Kemsing station, about 2.5 miles south.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
