Asbestos removal for Upham properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we cover textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets and more.
In a village like Upham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
What we deal with in Upham
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Textured coatings
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos garages
For non-domestic buildings like Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- The method and controls
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
