Licensed Asbestos Removal Services Across the UK
Asbestos removal is a critical step in many demolition, refurbishment and site remediation projects. While asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) may appear stable when undisturbed, they become dangerous once damaged, releasing microscopic fibres that can cause serious respiratory illnesses.
Weaver Demolition offers licensed asbestos removal services across the UK. Whether integrated into a larger demolition scheme or delivered as a standalone service, our expert team ensures asbestos is identified, safely removed, and legally disposed of—protecting people, property and the environment.
When and Why Asbestos Removal Is Needed
Asbestos was commonly used in UK construction until it was banned in 1999. Many buildings built before this date—especially industrial, commercial and public-sector properties—still contain ACMs.
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, duty holders are legally responsible for identifying and managing asbestos in non-domestic buildings.
If asbestos is found to be damaged, deteriorating or in an area subject to planned disturbance—such as during renovation or demolition—it must be safely removed. Failing to do so can put contractors, building occupants and the general public at risk. This is where Weaver Demolition steps in.
Our process
Our Rigorouss and Carefully Managed Process
We begin each project with a thorough asbestos survey to assess risk and identify any ACMs. Our experienced surveyors use the latest techniques to map out the location, type and condition of asbestos on site. From there, we develop a detailed plan to safely remove and dispose of the materials, all in strict accordance with UK legislation and health and safety guidance.
All removal works are carried out by fully trained operatives wearing appropriate protective equipment, working under controlled conditions to prevent fibre release. We coordinate with air monitoring specialists to validate the safety of the site before handover. Whether it’s thermal insulation from pipework, asbestos board from partition walls, or roof sheeting from outbuildings, we remove it all with precision and care.
Step 1
Survey & Risk Assessment
Our experienced surveyors carry out a detailed asbestos survey to locate and assess all ACMs.
Step 2
Planning & Preparation
We develop a bespoke removal plan, taking into account site constraints, regulatory obligations and environmental considerations.
Step 3
Safe Removal & Containment
Licensed operatives use specialist equipment and PPE to remove ACMs under fully controlled conditions.
Step 4
Air Monitoring & Clearance
We work with trusted analysts to perform independent air tests and ensure the site is safe before reoccupation.
Step 5
Legal Disposal
All asbestos waste is securely transported to authorised disposal facilities, with full documentation provided.
