WHY CHOOSE US?
Identification before anyone touches the roofline – we confirm what the guttering and downpipes are made of before any removal or replacement work begins.
Careful removal that avoids breakage – cement guttering is prone to cracking and shedding fragments if handled roughly, so we remove it whole wherever possible rather than levering or smashing it down.
A tidy handover for replacement work – if you’re upgrading to uPVC or another modern material, we can coordinate timing so your roofline isn’t left exposed for longer than needed.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Asbestos cement guttering is generally low-risk while it’s intact, but decades of exposure to rain, frost, and sun make it increasingly brittle. Moss and algae growth, which is extremely common on older guttering, holds moisture against the surface and accelerates that breakdown. The real risk moment usually isn’t the guttering just sitting there — it’s when someone starts working on it: scraping off moss, drilling new brackets, or simply pulling it down to replace it without knowing what it’s made of. That last scenario is by far the most common way people are exposed, because guttering replacement is often treated as a routine job rather than one that needs checking first. Make sure it is handled by our team of experts.

FAQs
How do I know if my guttering contains asbestos?
Grey, slightly rough-textured cement guttering on a property built or fitted before the 1980s is the classic sign, but visual identification isn’t reliable enough to be certain — moss and paint can obscure the texture. If your gutters match that description and you’re planning any work, get them checked before starting.
Is it safe to leave old asbestos guttering in place?
Often yes, if it’s intact and not due to be worked on. The risk comes from disturbance — scraping, drilling, or breaking it during removal or repair — not from it simply being there and left alone.
Can I remove asbestos guttering myself?
We’d strongly advise against it. Cement guttering is prone to cracking when levered or pulled by hand, which can release fibres, and any asbestos waste needs to go to a licensed disposal facility rather than a standard skip or household bin.
Do downpipes need checking as well as the guttering itself?
Yes — asbestos cement guttering systems commonly used matching downpipes made from the same material, so we assess the whole system rather than just the visible guttering sections.
How much does asbestos guttering removal cost?
It depends on the length of guttering, number of downpipes, and access required (height, scaffolding needs). We give a fixed price after assessing the property.
Can you replace the guttering as well as removing the old asbestos ones?
We focus on the safe removal and disposal of the asbestos material. We’re happy to coordinate timing with your roofing or guttering contractor so replacement work follows on smoothly.
