Asbestos garage roof removal for Upham
Asbestos garage roof removal for Upham properties
If you are not sure your garage roof in Upham is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes, and people typically contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and storm-damaged sheets.
In a village like Upham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Upham
Do you cover Upham from London?
We cover Upham, about 61 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Upham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
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 I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What we deal with in Upham
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Typical jobs in Upham include:
- Single garages
- Garage conversions
- Garages due for demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
If you are a landlord with garages near Hedge End station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Before booking anyone
- Any exclusions

- What paperwork you get
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
For businesses and landlords in Upham
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- No removal until we know what it is
- Accredited laboratory results
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
