Expert Asbestos Roof Removal in Callington, Cornwall

Most people we chat with in Cornwall call it 'the old wavy roof.' In technical terms, it's usually Chrysotile (white asbestos) mixed with cement. While it's relatively stable when it's in one piece, our wet and windy maritime climate can take a toll. Over the years, the moss grows, the sheets become brittle, and they start to crack. This is when 'fibre release' becomes a concern. If you've noticed your garage roof looking a bit furry with moss or showing signs of hairline fractures, it's probably time to have a professional look at it. Have you noticed any damp patches on the floor after a typical Cornish downpour? That's often the first sign that the integrity of the asbestos cement is failing.

We don't believe in taking shortcuts when it comes to your safety. Our team follows the Control of Asbestos Regulations to the letter, ensuring every project is fully compliant with HSE guidelines. When we arrive at your property in Callington, we don't just start ripping things down. We use a 'wetting down' technique to dampen the sheets, which prevents dust from becoming airborne. Our specialists wear full PPE and RPE, and every single piece of material is double-bagged or wrapped securely. Once the job is done, we provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This is your legal proof that the hazardous material was disposed of properly at a licensed site, rather than just disappearing into a skip. It's all about giving you that much-needed peace of mind.

Removing the asbestos is only half the story. Once the site is clear and safe, what comes next? Most of our customers choose this moment to upgrade to a roof that actually adds value to their property. Imagine swapping that old, leaking garage roof for a sleek GRP fibreglass finish or a durable EPDM rubber system. If you're working on a traditional Cornish cottage, we can even look at slate and tile roofing options to match the heritage of the building. We manage the entire transition from a hazardous site to a high-performance new roof, so you don't have to worry about coordinating different contractors. Why settle for just a removal when you can have a complete transformation?
