Asbestos garage roof removal for Upton properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Upton and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about block garages and sheet garages, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In towns and villages like Upton, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Nearby places to Upton
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Upton
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Carport roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Duty holders and landlords in Upton
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
How it works
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Upton is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
