If asbestos containing materials have been identified within your property, it is important they are managed safely and in accordance with UK regulations. At Bawcro Asbestos, we specialise in the safe removal and encapsulation of non-licensed asbestos materials across Yorkshire.
With over 20 years of experience in asbestos removal and management, our team helps homeowners, businesses, landlords, and contractors safely deal with asbestos risks while ensuring full compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Whether you need asbestos garage removal, asbestos cement sheet removal, or encapsulation of asbestos materials, we provide a safe, practical solution tailored to your property.
What Is Asbestos Removal?
Asbestos removal involves safely dismantling and removing asbestos-containing materials from a property using controlled working methods. These materials are then securely packaged, transported, and disposed of at authorised waste facilities.
At Bawcro Asbestos, we specialise in the removal of non-licensed asbestos materials, including:
-
Asbestos cement roofs
-
Asbestos garages
-
Cement wall panels
-
Soffits and undercloaking
-
Asbestos flue pipes
-
Gutters and downpipes
-
Floor tiles and bitumen adhesive
-
Sink pads and toilet cisterns
As an Environment Agency Licensed Waste Carrier, we ensure all asbestos waste is transported and disposed of safely and legally.
Asbestos Garage Roof Removal
One of the most common jobs we carry out is asbestos garage roof removal. Many garages built before the 1990s used asbestos cement sheets which can deteriorate over time.
Our team carefully removes asbestos roof sheets using controlled removal techniques, ensuring the material remains intact and dust is minimised.
The images below show a before and after example of an asbestos garage roof removal, demonstrating how a property can be made safe once asbestos materials have been removed.
What Is Asbestos Encapsulation?
In some situations, asbestos does not need to be removed immediately. If the material is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed, it may be safer to encapsulate the asbestos instead.
Encapsulation involves sealing the asbestos material with a specialist protective coating or barrier. This prevents fibres from being released and protects the material from damage.
Encapsulation is often used for:
-
Asbestos cement sheets
-
Asbestos panels
-
Garage roofs
-
Industrial or agricultural buildings
This method can be a cost-effective and safe alternative to removal when appropriate.
