FAQS
No, breaking, cutting, or snapping asbestos cement guttering deliberately causes the material to fragment and releases respirable asbestos fibres. All asbestos cement rainwater goods must be removed intact wherever possible and handled using methods that prevent breakage throughout the process. Deliberate breakage is not a permissible removal method under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
No, our team specialises strictly in the safe removal and licensed disposal of asbestos-containing materials. Installing replacement UPVC or aluminium guttering is a separate trade outside our scope. We confirm our exact removal scope in writing so you can easily arrange a replacement contractor.
In most cases, no, asbestos cement guttering removal typically falls into the non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW) category. A full HSE asbestos removal licence is not required, but a UKATA-trained operative must still follow approved HSE procedures. We confirm the exact work category at the free survey stage before any quote is issued.
Visual identification alone is not a reliable method for confirming asbestos cement in guttering or downpipes. Properties where the rainwater goods were installed before 2000 should be treated as potentially containing asbestos until professional sampling confirms otherwise. Our free same-week survey includes a full inspection and, where required, a controlled sample submitted to a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service)-accredited laboratory.
No. Asbestos cement guttering and downpipes are classified as hazardous waste under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 and cannot be disposed of in a skip, a general waste bin, or at a standard household recycling centre. All asbestos waste must be double-bagged in compliant packaging and transported to an HSE-approved licensed disposal facility. We handle the full collection and disposal process and provide a consignment note on every job.
Asbestos cement guttering and downpipes that are intact, undamaged, and in good condition carry a lower immediate risk when left undisturbed. The risk increases as the material ages, weathers, and becomes brittle, particularly where sections are already cracking or where building work is planned nearby. We assess the condition of your guttering and downpipes at the free survey stage and advise on whether removal is required or whether monitoring is appropriate.
