Why people call us in Upperton
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage blocks
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Properties near Graffham Common may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Questions from Upperton
Do you come out to small villages like Upperton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
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. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

For businesses and landlords in Upperton
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
