How asbestos removal works in Upton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving cement soffits, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Upton, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Upton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
What we deal with in Upton
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Textured coatings
- Old flues
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Upton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Upton
Could my house in Upton contain asbestos?
If your home in Upton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Upton despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
