About our asbestos garage roof removal in Uplees
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Uplees may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Uplees by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the way to the work area
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Helpful guides
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Uplees must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What else we do in Uplees
Uplees: your questions answered
Do you cover Uplees and the area around Faversham station?
Yes. Faversham station is about 2.4 miles south-east of Uplees, and we cover both.
How far is Uplees from London?
We cover Uplees, about 43 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
