Safe, Legal & HSE-Compliant Asbestos Cement Removal in Newark
Asbestos cement is one of the most widespread forms of asbestos found in UK houses, garages, and outbuildings. It was commonly used for garage roofs, soffits, wall panels, shed roofs, downpipes, flues, and various external building materials prior to 1999.
If you need asbestos cement removal in Newark, our licensed team manages every stage safely and legally from initial inspection and controlled dismantling to packaging, transport, and compliant disposal.
We handle the removal of asbestos cement sheets, panels, and roofing throughout the Newark area, providing fast quotes, safe work procedures, and full waste documentation for your records.
What Is Asbestos Cement?
Asbestos cement is a durable grey building material created by mixing cement with asbestos fibres (most often chrysotile). It was widely used across UK homes and outbuildings before the late 1990s.
Common places you might find asbestos cement include:
- Garage roof sheets
- Shed and barn roofing
- Soffits and fascia boards
- Wall cladding
- Downpipes and guttering
- Flue and vent pipes
- Cold-water tank lids
- Fire-resistant wall or ceiling panels
Although asbestos cement is generally lower-risk than materials such as loose insulation or AIB, cutting, drilling, or breaking it can release hazardous fibres linked to:
- Asbestosis
- Mesothelioma
- Lung cancer
Because of this, professional asbestos cement removal in Newark is always the safest and legally compliant option.
The Risks of DIY Removal:
Attempting to remove asbestos cement yourself is unsafe and, in many cases, unlawful without the correct waste permits and protective measures.
When asbestos cement sheets are cracked, drilled, or broken, microscopic fibres can become airborne. Breathing in these fibres increases the long-term risk of serious health conditions.
Using a licensed professional prevents accidental fibre release and ensures the work meets UK safety standards.
Our asbestos cement removal service in Newark eliminates these risks by providing:

Legal Waste Disposal

Why You Must Remove Asbestos Cement Safely
