Asbestos Cement Removal
Safe, Legal & HSE-Compliant Asbestos Cement Removal
Asbestos cement is one of the most common forms of asbestos found in UK homes and outbuildings. It was used for garage roofs, soffits, wall panels, shed roofs, downpipes, flues, and countless exterior materials before 1999.
If you need Asbestos Cement Removal, our licensed team handles every stage safely and legally from inspection and dismantling to packaging, transport, and disposal.
We specialise in removing asbestos cement sheets, panels, and roofing across the region, providing fast quotes, safe working methods, and full waste documentation.
What Is Asbestos Cement?
Asbestos cement is a hard, grey building material made by mixing cement with asbestos fibres (typically chrysotile).
It’s commonly found in:
- Garage roofing sheets
- Shed and barn roofing
- Soffits and fascia boards
- Wall cladding
- Downpipes and guttering
- Flue pipes
- Cold-water tank lids
- Fire-resistant panels
Although asbestos cement is lower-risk than loose insulation or AIB, cutting, breaking, or disturbing it releases fibres that can cause:
- Asbestosis
- Mesothelioma
- Lung cancer
This is why professional asbestos cement removal is strongly recommended.
The Risks of DIY Removal:
Attempting to remove asbestos cement yourself is risky and often illegal without proper waste permits.
When asbestos cement sheets crack, smash, or are drilled, microscopic fibres become airborne. Inhaling those fibres increases the long-term risk of life-threatening diseases.
Our team eliminates the risks completely by providing:
Safety First
We use full PPE, Type 5/6 suits, P3 respirators and H-Class vacuums.
Controlled Removal
Sheets are unbolted and removed whole — never smashed or cut.
On-Site Wrapping
Materials are double-wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene and red-labelled bags.
Legal Waste Disposal
You cannot legally take asbestos to a normal tip. We transport it using licensed waste carriers directly to authorised hazardous waste facilities.
Full Documentation
Every job includes a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note — essential proof for landlords, homeowners, and future buyers.

Most asbestos cement removal jobs take 2–4 hours.
Do you dispose of the waste?
Yes, we handle all disposal legally through licensed hazardous waste stations.
