Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Upper Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Upper Green questions
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Upper Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
- Street parking nearby
- Approximate dimensions
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
How we work in Upper Green

After we’ve finished in Upper Green
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
