Asbestos Removal and Replacement Services
Anglia Decor holds full HSE licensing for asbestos removal work. We identify asbestos material, conduct licensed surveys, manage air quality monitoring, and execute removal under licensed contractor oversight. Unlike encapsulation (which seals asbestos indefinitely), removal eliminates the hazard completely. Asbestos-containing roof decking, cladding, gutters, and flashings are removed in sealed containment, bagged in licensed waste containers, and transported to HSE-approved disposal facilities. Post-removal air testing confirms zero asbestos fibres remain on site.
Replacement roofs use modern non-asbestos materials. New profiled steel sheeting, composite panels, or flat PVC membranes deliver superior durability compared to legacy asbestos systems. Installation includes structural assessment, strengthening where necessary, and full weatherproofing with reinforced edges and sealant renewal. Thermal insulation is added to meet Building Regulations Part L energy requirements. HSE guidance on asbestos management informs our removal protocols and safety procedures.
Asbestos removal is regulated work and must be carried out under HSE Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Anglia Decor manages the full asbestos removal and replacement process, working with licensed asbestos contractors where required, maintaining Asbestos Awareness training for all operatives on site, and completing HSE Notifiable Work documentation. We manage regulatory communication with building control, environmental health, and planning authorities. Full documentation trail is maintained for asset owners and future occupants.
Specialist Asbestos Replacement Contractors
Asbestos removal carries professional and legal responsibility. Incorrect handling creates fibre release, occupational exposure, and regulatory violations. Anglia Decor's licensed status demonstrates competency, insurance coverage, and regulatory compliance. Our teams complete HSE Asbestos Awareness training annually and maintain operational competence through continuous professional development. Air monitoring is conducted throughout removal by independent certified surveyors. Personal protective equipment (RPE) is fitted to operatives by certified respiratory protection advisers.
Health and safety drives our removal approach. Containment enclosures are erected before removal commences; these isolate the work area and prevent fibre dispersal. Negative air pressure is maintained using HEPA-filtered extraction units. Operatives work in full protective suits, respiratory protection, and double-gloved. Waste is sprayed with wetting agent, bagged in specialist asbestos waste containers, and segregated from general site waste. Stringent hygiene controls prevent cross-contamination to adjacent areas.
Cost for asbestos removal and replacement ranges £30–£80 per square metre depending on material type, building design, and containment complexity. Simple pitched asbestos-cement roofing costs £35–£55/m². Complex multi-level buildings with extensive pipework and fittings cost £60–£80/m². Anglia Decor provides fixed quotes with no hidden contingency charges. Extended warranties (10 years) apply to replacement roofing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is asbestos removal mandatory?
Removal is not legally mandatory if asbestos remains in good condition and is not disturbed. However, any future refurbishment, demolition, or disturbance triggers removal requirements. Proactive removal eliminates future liability and avoids emergency costs during other renovation projects.
Can you encapsulate asbestos instead of removing it?
Yes. Liquid encapsulation coatings seal asbestos material, preventing fibre release. Encapsulation costs £8–£15/m² and extends roof life 10–15 years. However, encapsulation creates ongoing management liability,future workers must treat the roof as hazardous and avoid disturbance. Complete removal eliminates this long-term liability.
How long does asbestos removal take?
Simple pitched roofs complete in 5–10 working days. Complex industrial buildings with extensive pipework take 2–4 weeks. Removal duration depends on building size, material type, and weather delays. Anglia Decor schedules work to minimise business interruption and coordinates phasing for large facilities.
What happens to asbestos waste?
Licensed waste contractors transport bagged asbestos to HSE-approved disposal facilities. Incineration at licensed incinerators destroys asbestos fibre structure; final ash is inert and non-hazardous. All disposal is documented with waste transfer notes and manifests. Building owners receive copies for compliance records.
Do we need building closure during asbestos removal?
Building closure is not required if removal is contained properly. Negative pressure enclosures isolate work areas from occupied spaces. Air monitoring confirms zero contamination beyond containment. Multi-occupancy buildings can remain operational during properly managed asbestos removal.
Will asbestos removal affect building insurance or value?
Asbestos removal typically improves insurability,underwriters reduce premiums 10–15% post-removal. Property valuation is unaffected by removal; in fact, removal eliminates future liability that could devalue the asset. Disclosure of asbestos history to future buyers is necessary regardless; proactive removal demonstrates due diligence.
