About our asbestos removal in Upton
Every removal job in Upton is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. We often deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about old cold water tanks and debris left from a previous job.
In a smaller place like Upton, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What happens
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Upton by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
