Asbestos garage roof removal for Upton
Asbestos garage roof removal near Upton
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. Typical jobs include lean-to roofs and broken sheets after high winds, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
Garages around Upton may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Upton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
The process
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Upton is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
