Safe, compliant removal of asbestos cement roofs from barns, sheds, and farm buildings across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

Managing asbestos on a working farm carries serious responsibility. Countless agricultural buildings across the Newark and Sherwood district constructed between the 1950s and 1990s feature asbestos cement sheeting for roofing and cladding. As time passes, these materials deteriorate, becoming increasingly fragile and hazardous to handle.

We provide specialist Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark services designed specifically for the farming community’s unique requirements. We recognize that your farm represents both your home and your livelihood. Our experienced team works efficiently to dismantle dangerous structures, clear land of illegally dumped waste, and ensure your operations continue running smoothly with minimal disruption.

Whether you’re replacing a leaking barn roof, demolishing a redundant grain store, or dealing with storm damage, with our Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark service, we deliver a fully compliant, licensed solution that protects your farm, your workers, and your future.

For farmers and landowners throughout the Newark area, asbestos presents a distinct set of challenges. Large surface areas of corrugated cement sheeting (commonly known as “Big Six” profile) appear regularly on Dutch barns, pig sheds, and machinery stores.

As these roofs age, they become dangerously brittle. Moss growth, weather exposure, and accidental impacts from farm machinery cause sheets to crack and splinter, releasing harmful fibres into the air. Ignoring the issue isn’t an option – strict HSE regulations exist to protect farm workers and livestock alike.

Our Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark service helps you:

• Avoid Heavy Fines: Dispose of hazardous waste safely without risking prosecution for illegal burial or burning on farmland.

• Protect Your Livestock: Prevent animals from ingesting dangerous debris that could contaminate feed and water sources.

• Ensure Full Compliance: Meet your legal obligations under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and maintain farm assurance standards.

• Enable Farm Modernisation: Clear outdated structures to make space for modern steel-framed buildings and improved facilities.

Within our Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark service, we deliver a comprehensive range of services designed specifically for the rural and agricultural sector across Nottinghamshire:

1. Large-Scale Barn Roof Dismantling

With our Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark service, we specialize in safely removing extensive asbestos cement roofs from barns and outbuildings. Our team utilizes mobile elevation work platforms (MEWPs) and professional safety netting to access high roofs securely. We carefully unbolt and lower sheets to ground level intact, minimizing fibre release – the gold standard approach for Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark projects.

2. Land Clearance & Fly-Tipping Response

Unfortunately, farms frequently become targets for fly-tippers who dump hazardous waste materials in gateways or fields. We provide rapid response collection services to clear this waste legally, restoring your land and removing the liability burden from your shoulders.

3. Complete Outbuilding Demolition

From small chemical stores to large poultry sheds, we strip asbestos cladding and roofing materials before any mechanical demolition takes place. You’re left with a clean, safe site ready for redevelopment.

4. Soil Contamination Remediation

When an old roof has collapsed or been damaged by fire, asbestos fragments often contaminate the surrounding soil. Within our Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark service, we offer meticulous manual “emu-picking” and comprehensive soil remediation services to clear the ground for safe future use.

We understand that farming operations never stop. Our process is designed for maximum efficiency with minimal disruption to your daily activities.

Step 1: Farm Site Visit & Assessment

We visit your farm to assess the full scale of the work required. We identify suitable access routes for our machinery and waste vehicles that avoid disrupting your livestock, crops, and daily farming routine.

Step 2: Safety Planning (RAMS)

We produce a detailed, site-specific Risk Assessment and Method Statement. This comprehensive document covers exactly how we’ll protect your workers, livestock, and crops from contamination during the Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark works.

Step 3: Controlled Safe Removal

On the scheduled day, we establish proper exclusion zones around the work area. We use professional dust suppression techniques (water spray systems) to keep fibres damp and prevent airborne contamination. Sheets are removed intact wherever possible, wrapped in heavy-duty 1000-gauge polythene, and immediately sealed.

Step 4: Licensed Legal Disposal

Within our Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark service, we transport all waste directly to authorized hazardous landfill sites. You’ll receive a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note – essential paperwork for maintaining your farm assurance schemes like Red Tractor and demonstrating environmental compliance.

The Health and Safety Executive actively inspects agricultural properties to ensure compliance with asbestos regulations. As a duty holder and farm owner, you must:

• Identify where asbestos materials exist on your property
• Assess the risk these materials pose to workers and visitors
• Manage materials safely or arrange professional removal if they’re deteriorating

While attempting DIY Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark is technically legal for certain non-licensed work, it carries substantial risks. Falls from height through fragile asbestos roofs remain a leading cause of fatal accidents in British agriculture. Hiring our professional team to perform a Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark service eliminates this risk entirely while ensuring full regulatory compliance.

You can find detailed guidance for HSE in agricultural asbestos safety through the HSE website.

Can I bury asbestos on my farm?

Absolutely not. Burying asbestos waste constitutes a serious criminal offence under environmental protection legislation. All asbestos must be disposed of at licensed landfill sites with proper documentation. Using professional Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark services ensures complete legal compliance.

Do you remove asbestos fragments from soil?

Yes, we do. If you have old fragments contaminating the ground from previous demolition work or collapsed structures, we can hand-pick debris and remediate the affected area to safe standards.

Is my barn roof asbestos or modern fibre cement?

It’s virtually impossible to determine by visual inspection alone. We offer a professional testing service to confirm whether your roof sheets contain asbestos before you commence any maintenance or removal work. This prevents accidental exposure and ensures the correct handling procedures are followed.

How long does farm asbestos removal take?

Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the structure. A typical barn roof can often be removed within 1-3 days. We work around your farm schedule to minimize disruption during busy periods like harvest or lambing season.

Will you work around my livestock?

Yes. We carefully plan all work to ensure animal welfare is maintained. We can schedule work when buildings are empty or establish safe exclusion zones that protect livestock from contamination while allowing them to remain on site.

Don’t allow deteriorating asbestos to compromise your farm’s safety, environmental compliance, or future development plans. Trust the local experts in Farm & Agricultural Asbestos Removal Newark to deliver professional, efficient, and fully compliant services.
