Common questions in Knowl Hill
How far is Knowl Hill from London?
We cover Knowl Hill, about 31 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Knowl Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Knowl Hill
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From block garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters and more.
Rural garages near Knowl Hill are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

- Which laboratory analyses samples
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Corrugated sheets

Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.

- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
