Asbestos Guttering And Downpipe Removal in Earl Shilton, Leicestershire

Most homeowners we chat with don't realise that asbestos cement guttering is generally safe while it's in one piece. The trouble starts when moss begins to grow in the joints or when the swan-necks and hopper heads become weathered and crumbly. If you try to pull them down yourself, they'll likely snap, releasing invisible fibres into the air right next to your windows and doors. We follow strict HSE guidelines to ensure these materials are handled with the care they deserve. By using dust suppression and wetting techniques, we keep you and your neighbours safe during the entire removal process.

When you call us for asbestos guttering removal in Earl Shilton, we don't just rip things out. Our process is methodical and tidy. We carefully dismantle every section of the asbestos cement pipework, lowering it to the ground rather than dropping it. Every piece is immediately double-wrapped and sealed in heavy-duty polythene. We even pay close attention to the soil or driveway below, ensuring no small fragments are left behind in the flowerbeds. Our goal is to leave your site clean, clear, and ready for your new, modern guttering system to be installed immediately.

One of the biggest worries people have is where the hazardous waste actually goes. You can't just stick asbestos cement downpipes in a standard skip or take them to the local tip. As a Registered Waste Carrier, Asbestos Clear UK takes full responsibility for the legal disposal of your asbestos rainwater goods. Once we've cleared the site, the waste is transported to a specialist licensed transfer station. Most importantly, we'll provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This is your essential legal proof that the material has been handled correctly—something you'll definitely need if you're a landlord or looking to sell your property in the future.
