Asbestos and buildings in Kirkby and Knowsley
Kirkby and Knowsley are largely built from postwar overspill estates of the 1950s and 1960s, many with maisonettes, flats and low-rise blocks, alongside Knowsley Industrial Park and its distribution units. Housing providers use surveys ahead of refurbishment and void works, and industrial occupiers need registers for large-span buildings with cement roofs. Garages, stores and outbuildings from the same period are common sampling targets.

What to do next
If the building was built or refurbished before 2000, start with a survey, because it tells you what is there before anyone disturbs it. Use the form to send the postcode, the type of property and up to five photographs, and an independent partner surveyor will contact you. If the survey finds something that has to come out, we can connect you with licensed removal contractors.
