Professional, safe & compliant
Many older barns, grain stores and sheds still contain asbestos sheets, once a go-to material, now a serious risk. Protect your farm buildings and the people who use them with our expert asbestos cladding removal services, designed specifically for agricultural structures.
If your building was constructed before the year 2000, there’s a good chance asbestos is present. Left undisturbed, it might seem harmless, but age, weather or even routine maintenance can break the material down, releasing harmful fibres into the air.
Fortunately, our experienced team will remove the risk safely and efficiently.

Agricultural asbestos cladding removal process
It all starts with a free consultation where we visit your site, assess your building, and if needed, test the asbestos materials. If asbestos is confirmed, we prepare a detailed plan, complete with risk assessment and method statements in line with HSE guidance.
We can then match your existing setup or upgrade it to something smarter, stronger and more energy-efficient.

We know how costly downtime can be on a working farm. That’s why we plan every stage to keep things moving. Whether this means working outside peak hours or scheduling around livestock, we make it work.

Does all asbestos need removing?
Not all asbestos needs to be removed straight away. If it’s sealed and undamaged, it might be safe to monitor for now.
However, if there is any sign of wear or if you’re unsure, it’s always worth getting it checked out.
We offer honest advice, based on up-to-date regulations and years of hands-on experience. If removal isn’t necessary, we’ll tell you. If it is, we’ll handle it.

If asbestos sheets are in good condition and left undisturbed, they may not pose an immediate threat. But if there’s any damage, wear, or planned construction work nearby, it’s usually safest to remove and replace them.
