Asbestos roof removal

Do you have asbestos in your roof?

Asbestos is commonly found as a material in the roofs of older commercial and industrial properties, and is also seen in garages and other residential buildings. The material was enormously popular for its insulation properties, but was made illegal to use in the UK in 1999 due to the health hazards associated with breathing the fibres into the lungs.

Unfortunately, many warehouses and industrial premises built before 1999 contain asbestos either in the form of panels or within the cement. This means that there are many premises in the UK that contain asbestos without their owner or manager necessarily being aware of the risks.

It is impossible to tell just by observing your roof whether it contains asbestos as many materials look similar but are not dangerous. Equally it may be the case that the asbestos has been mixed into cement. If you want to learn if you have an asbestos roof, you need to have a survey carried out.

How we work

At Crucial Environmental we specialise in the removal of asbestos roofs. The process is usually fairly straightforward. Asbestos panels are first dampened and then can be carefully removed as whole sheets. Corrugated sheets are double-wrapped and then sealed in heavy gauge polythene covering. They can then be placed in a locked or into a hazardous waste skip. Our team is highly experienced in all forms of asbestos removal.

About Asbestos Roof Removal with our FAQ’s and Articles

What is Asbestos Roof Removal?
Asbestos roof removal involves the safe dismantling and disposal of roofing materials that contain asbestos, commonly found in older homes, commercial buildings, and outbuildings.
Why is Asbestos Roof Removal Necessary?
Asbestos roofs can deteriorate over time, especially when exposed to weather, leading to the release of harmful fibres. Removal ensures these risks are mitigated, making your property safer.
How is Asbestos Roof Removal Carried Out?
The process includes an initial survey, risk assessment, and the careful removal of asbestos roofing sheets, using safety measures to prevent fibre release during the work.
Can I Remove Asbestos Roofing Myself?
No, removing asbestos roofing is dangerous and should only be performed by licensed professionals who have the appropriate training and equipment to handle asbestos safely.
How Long Does Asbestos Roof Removal Take?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the roof. After an initial assessment, Crucial Environmental will provide a detailed timeframe for the removal process.
What Safety Measures Are Used During Removal?
Work areas are cordoned off, and all team members wear protective equipment. We use water suppression techniques and HEPA filtration to minimise the release of asbestos fibres.
What Happens to Asbestos Waste?
Asbestos roofing materials are securely bagged and transported to licensed disposal sites, ensuring compliance with all legal disposal regulations.
Is Air Monitoring Required After Roof Removal?
Air monitoring is recommended to ensure that no asbestos fibres remain in the area after removal. A clearance certificate is issued to confirm safety.
Do I Need to Leave My Property During Roof Removal?
For safety, it is best to stay clear of the immediate work area during the removal process. The rest of the property can often remain occupied if safely sealed off.
