Asbestos Cement Panel And Soffit Removal in Nottingham, Nottingham

We safely remove specific asbestos-containing materials commonly found in homes and businesses, including:

• Asbestos Cement: Found in garage roofs, sheds, soffits, and pipes. It is hard and brittle but releases fibres if broken.

If your property was built or renovated before 1999, there is a high chance the soffit boards (the panels under your gutters) contain asbestos cement. These boards are usually hard, grey, and around 6mm thick. The only way to be 100% certain is through professional sampling, but we recommend treating any suspicious material as asbestos to stay safe.

Generally, if the boards are in good condition and left undisturbed, the risk is low. However, they become dangerous when they are broken, drilled into for new lights, or sanded down for painting. In Bingham’s climate, weathering over decades can also cause the boards to become brittle, leading to the release of fibres.

We strongly advise against DIY removal. Asbestos soffits are often located in awkward positions. Breaking them during removal releases microscopic fibres that can be inhaled. We use specialist equipment and wetting agents to ensure the removal process is dust-free and safe for you and your neighbours.

When we remove asbestos cement panels in Bingham, we carefully lower them to the ground to prevent breakage. The materials are then double-wrapped in heavy-duty plastic and sealed. We transport the waste to a specialist site and provide you with a Waste Consignment Note, which is your legal proof that the asbestos was disposed of correctly.

Absolutely. We don't just take the boards away. We perform a detailed clean-up of the eaves and the ground below using fibre-trapping wipes and specialist vacuums. Our goal is to leave your property in a condition that is completely safe for you and any follow-on trades, such as joiners or fascia installers.
