About our asbestos garage roof removal in Upton
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about block garages and single garages, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a smaller place like Upton, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Upton
Could my house in Upton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Upton from London?
We cover Upton, about 66 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
After we’ve finished in Upton
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
