Asbestos garage roof removal in Knotty Green
Asbestos garage roof removal near Knotty Green
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Knotty Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Knotty Green questions
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Knotty Green and the area around Beaconsfield station?
Yes. Beaconsfield station is about 0.9 miles south-east of Knotty Green, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Is my garage roof in Knotty Green asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
In older properties, we often see:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Block garages
If you let a house with a garage near Beaconsfield station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Parking and access charges
- Disposal costs
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
- The access route
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Knotty Green by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
After we have finished in Knotty Green
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
