Common questions in Upperton
Are garage roofs in Upperton usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Upperton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Upperton can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we’re set up.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Upperton
- Ridge pieces

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Upperton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
