Asbestos Guttering Removal Services

If your home or commercial building was constructed before the 1980s, there’s a high chance it contains asbestos guttering. At Blue A Ltd, we offer safe, fully compliant asbestos guttering removal services across the UK, protecting your property, your health, and those around you.

Asbestos guttering, often made from asbestos cement, was commonly used for its durability and weather resistance. However, once aged, damaged, or disturbed, it can release harmful fibres into the air—posing significant health risks. Our trained operatives safely dismantle and dispose of these materials in accordance with HSE regulations and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What Is Asbestos Guttering?

Asbestos guttering is typically made by mixing cement with 10–40% asbestos fibres to strengthen the material. It’s often found on older buildings, especially in:

• Roof gutter linings
• Downpipes and drainpipes
• Garage and shed roofs
• Corrugated cement roofing

If the original guttering on your property has never been replaced, there’s a strong possibility it contains asbestos. It’s not always visually obvious, so an asbestos survey or sample test may be required to confirm its presence.

Our Asbestos Guttering Removal Process

At Blue A Ltd, we follow a strict, safety-first process for removing asbestos guttering. Our goal is to minimise fibre release, ensure site safety, and dispose of all waste legally and responsibly.

1. Site Inspection and Testing

If you’re unsure whether your guttering contains asbestos, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection. We can also take samples for laboratory testing to verify the material type and fibre content.

2. Access and Containment Planning

Our team will assess safe access for working at height, often using PASMA-certified mobile towers. We also implement barriers and signage to restrict entry and contain the workspace.

3. Controlled Removal

We use low-disturbance methods and wet techniques to prevent fibre release. Power tools are strictly avoided. The guttering is carefully dismantled and placed into sealed, labelled asbestos waste containers.

4. Cleanup and Disposal

Once removal is complete, the area is thoroughly cleaned using damp wipes and HEPA-filter vacuums. All waste is transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility, and you’ll receive a full asbestos waste consignment certificate.

Why Remove Asbestos Guttering?

Although asbestos cement products are relatively stable when intact, they become dangerous when:

• They age, crack, or break
• They’re exposed to harsh weather
• Roofing or gutter repairs disturb the material

Health risks associated with asbestos exposure include:

• Lung cancer
• Mesothelioma
• Asbestosis
• Pleural thickening

Whether you’re renovating or simply maintaining your roofline, it's safer—and often required by law—to have asbestos materials professionally removed.

How Much Does Asbestos Guttering Removal Cost?

Costs depend on several factors, but one of the biggest influences is access — particularly the need for scaffolding or mobile towers. If scaffolding is already in place (e.g. for roofing or other works), this can significantly reduce costs. Otherwise, we may need to provide access equipment ourselves, which adds to the project cost — including collection during the final phase of the job.

As a rough guide:
- Standard residential property: From £300–£600+VAT (excluding scaffold hire)
- Larger or multi-storey buildings: Custom quote based on access and quantity

We’ll always provide a clear, fixed quote with no hidden surprises.

No Need for Sampling or Testing

In almost all cases, there is no need to take samples or test the guttering.

This ensures the correct safety measures are applied from the start, avoiding delays and unnecessary testing costs.
