How We Work
Site Survey & Quotation
We visit the farm or agricultural site to assess the barn structure, confirm the ACM type and extent, and check access requirements. A no-obligation written quotation is provided within 24 hours.
Access & Preparation
Specialist access equipment including cherry pickers and scaffolding is arranged where required. The surrounding area is protected and livestock areas are secured before works commence.
Controlled Removal
Barn roof and wall sheets are carefully wetted before removal. Sheets are lowered carefully — never dropped — to prevent breakage and fibre release. All debris is collected on completion.
Waste Packaging & Disposal
All removed sheets are double-wrapped, labelled, and transported to a licensed disposal facility. A waste transfer note is issued as your legal proof of compliant disposal.
Replacement Roofing (Optional)
We can arrange replacement barn roofing in corrugated metal or fibre cement immediately after removal, providing a complete remove-and-re-roof service for agricultural buildings.
Common Questions
Is asbestos cement common in farm buildings?
Yes. Asbestos cement was the standard roofing and cladding material for agricultural buildings in the UK from the 1950s to the late 1990s. The vast majority of barns, farm sheds, and agricultural stores built during this period will contain asbestos cement.
Do I need planning permission to remove an asbestos barn roof?
Planning permission is not required for like-for-like roof replacement on agricultural buildings in most cases. However, we recommend checking with your local planning authority before any works, particularly for listed buildings or buildings in conservation areas.
Can you remove asbestos from a barn while it is still in use?
In many cases, yes. We can phase works to maintain access to parts of the building during removal. We will discuss your operational requirements and plan the works accordingly.
How much does asbestos barn removal cost?
Costs depend on the roof area, access conditions, and disposal requirements. Agricultural barn removals are priced on application. Contact us for a free site assessment and quotation.
