Asbestos removal in Listed Buildings

Do you need help with asbestos removal in listed buildings? Heritage properties often carry lots of historical significance, but due to their age, they may have had renovations conducted when asbestos use was common. At Goodbye Asbestos, our asbestos contractors specialise in the safe removal of asbestos in listed buildings.

We offer asbestos removal techniques in compliance with HSE regulations while considering how to preserve the character of historic buildings. The priority of occupants, workers and visitors should always be the main priority, but this doesn’t mean listed buildings don’t have options.

Asbestos in heritage properties

Many older buildings contain asbestos after its widespread use in construction until its ban in 1999. It can be found in many different structures and materials around properties, including roofing and insulation, plaster and ceiling tiles, textured coatings (like Artex), pipe lagging, floor tiles, adhesives and heating systems.

Those managing asbestos in listed buildings have unique challenges due to the protected status of the properties. These sites need special care and consideration during asbestos removal so that historic features aren’t damaged. We also consider the risks to the structural integrity of historic buildings if asbestos is disturbed.

As an experienced asbestos contractor, we’re familiar with heritage conservation regulations and safe asbestos removal practices.

  • "Very professional and friendly service. Initialy spoke with Andy who gave us a quote and date for the work to be done. Chris and Jeff arrived on time and completely removed our garage although it was pouring with rain. They cleared all the rubbish and left the area clean. Would thoughly recomend this company. Work carried out in Crawley, West Sussex."

    Alan Barrett

  • "Removed an asbestos garage roof, whole shed with asbestos roof, and then when there was further asbestos at the end of the garden took that too. Worked very hard solidly for two hours, loaded sheets, wore masks and suits. Great service and solved a big problem for me."

    Elizabeth Anderson

  • "I had 40 sqm of aertex ceiling removed in my house and the price came out as reasonable (particularly against 3 other quotes I had for the job). The job was completed in one day which I was chuffed with and the guys made sure that the house was safe for us to live in afterwards. Very happy with Goodbye Asbestos, would highly recommend."

    Olivia Lands

  • "I had my asbestos water tank removed from my loft in Croydon. Chris did a great job. They had about a weeks lead time. I needed this done ASAP and they were able to prioritise it and we booked it in next day. Thanks to Andy"

    Danny Williams

  • "Goodbye Asbestos provided a very polite and professional service on a pre-purchase where a suspicious material was identified by a surveyor. Tom gave us a quick turn around and timeframe and kept us updated throughout the process. Would highly recommend for a no fuss experience!"

    Elizabeth Packham

  • "Great service, friendly staff and competitive price. The asbestos was picked up by a diligent worker who came back and checked that there were no small bits on the ground. That really impressed me. Would recommend."

    James Goldbridge

  • "On finding Marley tiles on our floors we were in urgent need of having them removed. Goodbye Asbestos were amazing. They booked us in really quickly and on time, came and scraped up all the offending tiles and gripper rods. They disposed of the rubbish and sealed the under floor, leaving us ready for the laying of our new flooring. A job well done."

    Paul Tootill

  • "I have asked Goodbye Asbestos to remove my asbestos roof and replace it with insulated corrugated metal panels. I recommend them highly as I am very pleased with the quality of their workmanship, their attentive service and communications."

    Stefano Ferrari

  • "I have used Goodbye Asbestos twice, once removing an old asbestos shed and recently my large garage which had an asbestos roof. The guys are efficient, clean and friendly. All wear the appropriate clothing whilst handling the asbestos. Organising the quote and the demolition was easy. I'd highly recommend Goodbye Asbestos for any Asbestos removal you may require."

    Callum Stott

  • "I wanted to say a big thank you to Chris and the team for the superb job they did this morning in dismantling our horrible old asbestos/concrete garage! It was all done very quickly and professionally. They wore PPE and the asbestos roof panels were securely wrapped in plastic sheeting. The site was left clean and tidy afterwards. I also appreciated your sending me your waste licence and a copy of your insurance which was very reassuring as one reads some horror stories about waste disposal cowboys."

HSE asbestos regulations for listed buildings include the use of asbestos surveys to assess risks before refurbishment work, taking into account the building’s special architectural features. You must always use a licensed removal contractor for listed buildings and heritage conservation. Detailed method statements should also be created before the work, including ongoing air monitoring after asbestos removal. At Goodbye Asbestos, we conduct all our services in line with HSE guidelines and best industry practices.
