How asbestos garage roof removal works in Knightwood
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about garages due a new roof and roofs to clear before demolition.
In places like Knightwood, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

For managing agents and freeholders in Knightwood, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What happens
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in Knightwood by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Knightwood
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
In Knightwood, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Knightwood: your questions answered
Do older homes in Knightwood have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Knightwood may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Knightwood has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you cover Knightwood?
We do: Knightwood is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
