Asbestos removal for Knaphill properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. From old sheds and coal bunkers and old flues, we cover gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings.
Homes in Knaphill with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Knaphill questions
Do you cover Knaphill from London?
Knaphill is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Knaphill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Knaphill can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
After we’ve finished in Knaphill
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
