Expert Asbestos Roof Removal in Lostwithiel, Cornwall

Why is everyone so concerned about asbestos cement? When these sheets stay intact, they're generally stable, but our maritime climate here in the South West can be tough on them. High winds and salt air eventually cause the material to degrade and become brittle. That's when the real danger of fibre release begins. We follow strict Control of Asbestos Regulations to ensure everything is handled professionally. Our team uses specific safety techniques, like 'wetting down' the sheets to prevent dust and wearing full PPE and RPE. We never just toss things into a skip; every sheet is carefully removed, double-bagged, or wrapped to meet legal requirements before being transported to a licensed disposal site.

Most homeowners we speak to are worried about the 'hassle' of getting rid of hazardous waste. We take that entire burden off your shoulders. From the initial survey where we identify the type of asbestos—usually Chrysotile (White Asbestos) in residential roofing—to the final Waste Consignment Note, we manage it all. This legal document is your proof that the material was disposed of safely at an Environment Agency regulated site, similar to the facilities used at Chelson Meadow. We pride ourselves on being tidy, too. You won't find us leaving debris behind; we treat your property with the same respect we’d treat our own homes in Cornwall.

Once the old asbestos is gone, what comes next? Think of it as a fresh start for your building. We specialise in a seamless transition from a hazardous roof to a high-performance replacement. Whether you want the traditional look of Cornish slate, the durability of GRP fibreglass, or the flexibility of EPDM rubber, we can install a new system that looks great and lasts for decades. Many of our customers in areas like Lanhydrock, Bodmin, and St Blazey find that replacing an old asbestos roof actually adds significant value to their home and makes the space usable again.
