About our asbestos garage roof removal in Knowle
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about single garages and storm-damaged sheets, involving cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes.
Rural garages near Knowle are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Knowle
Do you cover small places like Knowle?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Knowle and the area around Fareham station?
Yes, we cover Knowle and the area towards Fareham station, about 2 miles south.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Keeping things safe:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
