Asbestos Guttering And Downpipe Removal in Loughborough, Leicestershire

Many homeowners ask us if their old gutters are actually dangerous. The truth is that as asbestos cement rainwater goods age, they become increasingly brittle. Years of exposure to frost and rain cause the material to degrade. If you try to clean them out or if a storm causes them to crack, tiny, invisible fibres can be released into the air. This fibre release is where the health risks lie.Think about the last time you saw moss growing in your gutters. When that moss is scraped away or when the pipes are disturbed during maintenance, the bonded asbestos can break apart. This is why DIY removal is never recommended. Breaking these pipes without specialist equipment and training can contaminate your garden, driveway, or even the interior of your home. We follow strict HSE guidelines to ensure that every section of guttering, every swan-neck, and every hopper head is removed without putting you or your neighbours at risk.
