Asbestos garage roof removal for Upton properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Upton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about carport roofs and garages in a row or block, including corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Upton, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Common questions in Upton
How far is Upton from London?
We cover Upton, about 21 miles from central London.
Do you work near Slough station?
Yes, we cover Upton and the area towards Slough station, about 0.6 miles north.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Your options compared
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor.

Why choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
What we deal with in Upton
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages due for demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Older houses in Upton, near Church of St Laurence or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

What affects the price in Upton
The cost depends on:
- How much waste there is
- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- A photo of the whole area
- An idea of size
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
