Asbestos removal for Upperton properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and Artex ceilings before renovation.
In areas like Upperton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Upperton
Could my house in Upperton contain asbestos?
Any home in Upperton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Upperton from London?
Upperton is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How it works
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Upperton is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Upperton
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Textured coatings
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
In older properties in Upperton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
