About our asbestos removal in Upton
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and loft water tanks, including textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In places like Upton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that is needed.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
FAQs for Upton
Do you cover Upton and the area around Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, we cover Upton and the area towards Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.1 miles east.
Is asbestos common in Upton homes?
Any home in Upton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

What we deal with in Upton
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Asbestos garages
- Textured coatings
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Materials found mid-project
If you let property near Smallbrook Junction station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
