Asbestos Removal in Leicester, Leicester

One of the most common sights we see across Leicestershire is the old asbestos cement garage roof. These corrugated sheets were the go-to building material for decades because they were cheap and durable. However, as they age, they can become brittle. If you're planning to dismantle an old shed or your garage roof is looking a bit weathered, it's vital not to tackle it yourself. Breaking or drilling these sheets releases dangerous fibres into the air. We specialise in the safe dismantling and disposal of asbestos outbuildings, sheds, and garage roofs. Our process involves carefully dampening the sheets to suppress dust, removing the fixings without breaking the panels, and double-wrapping everything securely before it leaves your property. It’s about giving you peace of mind that the job is done right, leaving your garden safe for the kids and pets.

Many homeowners in Leicester, particularly in those lovely 1960s and 70s properties in areas like Evington and Glen Parva, are surprised to learn that their decorative ceilings might contain asbestos. Artex and other textured coatings often had chrysotile (white asbestos) added to the mix for strength. The risk here is when you decide to modernise. Sanding or scraping these ceilings creates a fine, invisible dust that is incredibly hazardous if inhaled. We provide a meticulous Artex removal service that follows strict HSE guidelines. We don't just 'scrape and go'; we use controlled techniques and fibre-trapping wipes to ensure your living space is left completely clear of debris. Whether it’s a single bedroom or a whole house refurbishment, we make sure your ceilings are safe for the next stage of your project.

Have you just pulled up an old carpet in your Leicester terrace only to find small, brittle plastic-looking tiles underneath? These are often asbestos-backed vinyl floor tiles, and the black glue holding them down—bitumen adhesive—frequently contains asbestos too. It's a common 'hidden' hazard during renovations. We can safely lift these tiles and strip out the adhesive, ensuring that no fibres are tracked through your home. This is a technical job that requires the right PPE and RPE to do safely. By choosing Asbestos Clear UK, you’re ensuring that these materials are removed, bagged, and disposed of at a licensed waste transfer station, with all the correct paperwork—known as a waste consignment note—provided to you for your records.

For business owners and site managers in Leicester, staying compliant with health and safety regulations is a top priority. We support local builders and commercial property managers with specialist asbestos services, including the removal of asbestos cement cladding from industrial units, clearing broken debris from sites, and decontaminating old plant rooms. If you're mid-refurbishment and uncover old flue pipes, water tanks, or electrical boards backed with asbestos cement, we can step in quickly to keep your project moving safely. We also offer encapsulation services, which is a great, cost-effective option for sealing bonded asbestos materials that are in good condition, preventing any future fibre release without the need for a full strip-out.
