Expert Asbestos Roof Removal in Totnes, Devon

Most residential asbestos found in Devon properties is Chrysotile (white asbestos). In its solid, bonded state, it's generally considered low-risk, but our unique maritime climate isn't particularly kind to it. Years of Atlantic winds and damp South West winters eventually cause these sheets to degrade. Once they start delaminating or if you mistakenly try to power-wash the moss off, you risk fibre release. That’s where the real danger lies. We’ve seen plenty of roofs in areas like Bridgetown and Dartington where old sheets have simply reached the end of their lifespan and become a hazard. Why risk the health of your family or neighbours when a professional solution is so accessible?

We don't just turn up and start pulling sheets off; that’s how accidents happen and how environments get contaminated. At Sky Top Roofing LTD, we follow a meticulous safety protocol that strictly adheres to The Control of Asbestos Regulations. When our team arrives, they are fully equipped with specialist PPE and RPE. We use a 'wetting down' technique to ensure no dust is created during the removal process. Every sheet is carefully lowered, never dropped, and is immediately double-bagged or wrapped in heavy-duty plastic. We handle all the paperwork too, providing you with a Waste Consignment Note as legal proof that your hazardous waste was disposed of at an Environment Agency regulated site. It’s a completely managed service designed to take the stress off your shoulders.

Removing the hazard is only the first half of the story. What comes next is the exciting part—turning that old, grey eyesore into a durable, modern structure. Many of our Totnes customers choose to upgrade to a high-performance GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber system once the asbestos is gone. Imagine finally having a garage that is bone-dry and safe enough to use as a workshop or home gym. Whether you want traditional slate to match the heritage feel of the South Hams or a sleek modern flat roof, we handle the entire replacement. You won't need to worry about finding a second contractor; we provide a 'fresh start' from the timber rafters up to the final guttering.

Why choose a faceless national firm when you can work with local experts who know Totnes inside and out? From the narrow streets of the Narrows to the rural outbuildings in Harbertonford, we've built our reputation on being reliable, tidy, and transparent. We know the word 'asbestos' can feel daunting, which is why we offer fixed-price quotes with no hidden disposal fees. Are you ready to make your property safe and compliant?
