A sudden discovery of asbestos above your head is frightening.

They work quickly to eliminate the danger and restore safety to your premises.
Every project requires strict adherence to safety protocols. We assist you from the first laboratory sampling process up to compliant asbestos roof disposal.

What Is Asbestos and Why Does It Need Professional Removal?
Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral, was a popular building material for decades. Builders selected it for its solid resistance to fire and insulation properties. The issue arises when these older sheets age, fracture, or experience physical force. They drop micro-fibres into the air. Inhaled particles lodge deep inside lung tissue, creating severe scabs. The government completely banned its use in the UK late in 1999.
A number of property owners realise that this substance presents major health dangers; fewer understand the physical reasons why. A domestic asbestos roof removal is never a DIY task. You cannot simply throw these hazardous sheets into a standard council skip. The law demands proper handling by a licensed asbestos removal contractor.
The building owners across London, Surrey, Kent, and Essex must hire licensed experts to guarantee proper isolation, safe transport, and official UKAS certification under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Professional teams use advanced containment enclosures, negative air pressure machines, and sealed transport vehicles so that fibres never escape into your neighbourhood.
Types of Asbestos Found in UK Properties
Corrugated Cement Roof Sheets
The classic grey garage and outbuilding roofing for safe collection and disposal.material, were removed sheet by sheet under controlled conditions.
Garage & Outbuilding Roofs
full strip-outs, with replacement roofing quoted at the same time if you need it.
Roof Ridge Capping & Flashing
is often overlooked, but frequently asbestos cement is removed alongside the main sheets.
Commercial Roof Sheeting
larger-scale industrial and warehouse roofing, removed under full site containment.
Roof-Mounted Insulation Boards
asbestos insulation board (AIB) sometimes fitted beneath older roof sheeting.
Guttering & Soffits
asbestos cement guttering and soffit boards attached to the roofline, removed as part of the same job.
Health Risks of Asbestos Exposure
Abrasive sawing, drilling, manual breaking, or structural demolition of old materials releases the microscopic fibres directly into your breathing zone. Inhalation of these invisible particles causes severe respiratory diseases and fatal cancers. The Health and Safety Executive reports approximately 5,000 asbestos-related deaths annually, the single largest cause of work-related deaths across Great Britain.
You must never attempt DIY removal under any circumstances. Any project involving the extraction of these older materials requires a licensed asbestos roofing removal company to execute the task safely.

Why Choose a Licensed Asbestos Removal Company?
National health regulations legally require an HSE-licensed contractor to execute high-risk structural extractions. Licensed firms deliver correct UKAS laboratory analysis, trackable waste transport logs, and complete CAR 2012 execution. The hiring of uncertified general builders for regulated tasks breaches statutory law, cancels your building insurance, and exposes occupants to toxic dust.
| Feature | Licensed Contractor | Unlicensed Operator |
|---|---|---|
| Legal Compliance | ✓ Fully compliant with UK law | ✕ Illegal and punishable by fines |
| Safety Gear | ✓ Specialist RPE and PPE used | ✕ Inadequate or zero protection |
| Waste Disposal | ✓ Tracked environmental waste notes | ✕ Fly-tipping risk and legal liability |
| Convenience | ✓ Total security and legal cover | ✕ Constant worry and high risk |
HSE Licensing Requirements in the UK
Low-risk, short-term tasks with stable materials can occasionally be handled by non-licensed workers who have documented training. However, the majority of heavy structural removal requires a fully HSE-licensed specialist. This mandatory rule applies to projects involving friable materials, sprayed coatings, and asbestos insulation boards.
Pro Asbestos Cleaning Services holds a valid licence issued directly by the Health and Safety Executive. You can check our status on the official national database before booking any work. The choice to hire unlicensed tradesmen for regulated tasks is a major regulatory breach and leaves property owners liable to substantial fines.
Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
CAR 2012 governs all environmental safety practices across the United Kingdom. It imposes a strict duty to manage on individuals responsible for commercial properties and communal residential spaces. Duty holders must locate ACMs (Asbestos-Containing Materials), assess material stability, and keep updated records. These rules protect domestic homeowners during residential refurbishment work. Our team works to full legal standards on every project.

I recently purchased a late-1950s 3-bed maisonette riddled with asbestos in the flooring of every room. The team quoted quickly, worked fast, did an amazing professional job and left the property immaculate. I couldn’t ask for more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asbestos Roof Removal
Is it legal to remove asbestos myself?
You are legally allowed to remove certain unlicensed materials at home. The government strongly advises against this highly dangerous DIY practice.
How long does the removal process take?
Most standard domestic garage roofs take less than a full day. Large industrial warehouses require a detailed, multi-day work schedule.
Do I need to leave my property during the work?
Occupants usually remain safely indoors while we extract exterior roof sheets. Interior ceiling work requires you to vacate the specific containment zone.
Can you install a new roof afterwards?
Yes, we provide full structural replacement services for your ultimate convenience. This structural service saves you the hassle of hiring a separate building contractor.
What happens to the asbestos after removal?
Operatives double bag the sheets in specialist hazard bags securely. Our transit vehicles transport this directly to a designated environmental waste facility.
How do I know if my roof contains asbestos?
Visual inspections are never enough to confirm the exact material composition. A professional survey with laboratory testing provides the only definitive answer.
Will my neighbours be safe during the removal?
Our strict containment procedures protect all adjacent properties and public boundaries. Operatives dampen materials to stop invisible fibres from travelling airborne.
Do you provide a clearance certificate?
Every completed job receives a formal waste consignment note for compliance. Independent analysts issue clean air certificates for high-risk interior projects.
