Safe Asbestos Roof Removal in Plymouth
Fully compliant removal, disposal, and expert roof replacement
services across Devon and Cornwall.

Most older outbuildings across Devon and Cornwall were constructed using asbestos cement, which typically contains Chrysotile (often called white asbestos). While these materials are generally safe if they're left undisturbed, our unique maritime climate can speed up their decay. The salt-heavy air and fierce South West winds cause these sheets to become porous and fragile over time. Once they start to crack or moss takes hold, there's a much higher risk of fibre release. We understand the local conditions perfectly, and we follow the Control of Asbestos Regulations to the letter to ensure your home remains a safe environment during the entire removal process.

How do we actually handle the removal? It's a question we get asked a lot. We don't just 'rip it off' and hope for the best. Our team arrives with full specialist PPE and RPE, and we use a professional 'wetting down' technique. By dampening the sheets before we touch them, we significantly reduce the chance of any dust becoming airborne. We carefully unscrew the fixings rather than breaking the material, lowering each sheet by hand. Every single piece is then double-wrapped or double-bagged in heavy-duty plastic, ensuring the site is kept clean and your driveway is left spotless. It's a calm, methodical process designed to give you absolute peace of mind.

One of the biggest concerns for homeowners is where the waste actually ends up. You'll be glad to know we handle all hazardous waste disposal through strictly Environment Agency-regulated sites. We never cut corners with the law. Once the job is finished, we provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This document is your legal proof that the asbestos was disposed of correctly and safely, following protocols similar to those at sites like Chelson Meadow. This paperwork is incredibly important; if you ever decide to sell your property, your solicitor will likely ask for it as proof that the hazard was professionally managed.

What happens once the asbestos is gone? You’re left with a bare structure, and that's where our expertise as full-service roofers really comes in handy. Unlike a dedicated waste company that might leave you with an open-topped garage, we can immediately install a high-performance replacement. Imagine turning that old, damp shed into a dry, secure space you can actually use again. We offer a range of options, from sleek GRP fibreglass and durable EPDM rubber to traditional slate and tile. We manage the entire project from the initial safety survey to the final trim on your brand-new, safe roof.
