How asbestos removal works in Upperton
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and floor tiles before a new floor, including textured coatings, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Upperton, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why people choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Clear written quotes

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How it works
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. It helps if we can park nearby. Late-December sunset in Upperton is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Warn neighbours if needed

Upperton: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Upperton homes?
Any home in Upperton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Upperton from London?
We cover Upperton, about 53 miles from central London.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
