Asbestos garage roof removal in Knox Bridge
Asbestos garage roof removal near Knox Bridge
Many garages built before 2000, in Knox Bridge and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and brittle, leaking roofs, including ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters.
In a village like Knox Bridge, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
