Project overview
In May 2024, our team was instructed to remove the asbestos cement roof from a large commercial outbuilding in Chesterfield. The roof had reached the end of its life and was no longer safe to maintain. The business needed the asbestos removed quickly and professionally so that the building could be re-roofed and brought back into use.
Customer pain points
- The outbuilding had a large asbestos cement roof in poor condition.
- The business was concerned about asbestos fibre release if the roof deteriorated further.
- They needed the roof removed safely while keeping the building structure intact for re-roofing.
- Full compliance paperwork was required for health and safety and insurance purposes.
Our solution
Our licensed asbestos removal team carried out the project in full compliance with regulations. We:
- Completed a detailed site-specific risk assessment and method statement.
- Removed the asbestos cement sheets in controlled sections, minimising breakage.
- Wrapped and sealed all asbestos waste securely.
- Transported the waste directly to our own licensed asbestos disposal site, providing full paperwork to the client.
- Left the structure ready for the roofing contractors to install the new system.
Challenges we worked around
The outbuilding roof was both large and elevated, requiring careful planning for safe access. Our team used appropriate access equipment and safety controls to ensure the asbestos was removed efficiently while protecting workers and the surrounding site.
The result
The project was completed on time and to a high standard, giving the client:
- A large commercial outbuilding stripped of its asbestos roof.
- Peace of mind that all asbestos had been handled and disposed of correctly.
- Full compliance documentation for their records.
- A structure ready for immediate re-roofing and continued use.
The business was very satisfied with the professional handling of the project and pleased to see the outbuilding made safe for future use.
