Asbestos roofing is still found on thousands of commercial and industrial properties across the UK. While asbestos removal is not always necessary, professional asbestos roof cleaning requires a precise, safety-first approach. That’s where we come in.
At Universal Eco Homes, we specialise in non-licensed asbestos roof cleaning using HSE-approved methods that protect your property, your staff, and the environment. Whether you manage a warehouse, factory, or agricultural site with an ageing asbestos roof, our expert team is equipped to clean it safely, thoroughly and in full compliance with UK regulations.
Corrugated roofing sheets containing Chrysotile (white asbestos) were commonly used in UK construction until they were banned in 1999. These sheets were typically made of concrete reinforced with 10–15% white asbestos fibres.
Although stable when undisturbed, these roofs can become hazardous when they start to degrade or when cleaned improperly. That’s why asbestos roof cleaning should only ever be carried out by experienced professionals using the correct equipment, safety procedures and waste disposal systems.
Improper cleaning, especially using high-pressure washers with open nozzles, can release harmful fibres into the air, damage the roofing sheets, and result in serious health and legal consequences.
At Universal Eco Homes, we follow only Health and Safety Executive (HSE) approved methods for asbestos roof cleaning, ensuring no fibre release and full regulatory compliance. Our approach includes:
All cleaning wastewater and debris is handled in accordance with HSE EM9 guidance. This includes filtering to 0.5 microns, safe containment, and disposal as hazardous waste by certified operatives.
We take health and safety extremely seriously. Before any work begins, our in-house Health & Safety Consultant conducts a full site survey and prepares bespoke Risk Assessment and Method Statements (RAMS).
On-site, we ensure:
All operatives working on asbestos roofs hold up-to-date certification, including:
We leave nothing to chance, which is why so many commercial and industrial clients trust us for their asbestos roof cleaning needs.
Once your asbestos roof has been professionally cleaned and biocided, we strongly recommend roof encapsulation. This involves applying a protective coating that traps any remaining fibres and prevents future degradation. Not only does this extend the life of your roof, but it also offers peace of mind that the surface is sealed and safe moving forward.
As ProPERLA Platinum Approved Applicators, one of only a handful in the UK, we use premium-grade coatings that are breathable, waterproof and proven to last.
We bring over 30 years of combined experience in external surface cleaning and restoration. Our team operates nationwide, with five dedicated crews trained to the highest standards. We’ve received over 1,000 positive reviews on Trust a Trader and work across sectors ranging from logistics and food storage to agriculture and warehousing.
