What Is Asbestos Cement?
Asbestos cement is a mixture of cement and asbestos fibres, typically found in:
- Garage roofs
- Shed and outbuilding roofs
- Corrugated roofing sheets
- Soffits, fascias and gutters

- Farm buildings and industrial cladding
While asbestos cement is bonded and more stable, it can still release fibres when drilled, broken, cut, or weathered. Professional removal is strongly recommended as cutting, breaking, or disturbing it releases fibres that can cause:
The Risks of DIY Removal:
Attempting to remove asbestos cement yourself is dangerous and often illegal without the correct licences, equipment, and waste permits.
When asbestos cement sheets crack, smash, or are drilled, microscopic asbestos fibres become airborne. Breathing in those fibres dramatically increases the long-term risk of life-threatening diseases.
Choosing professional asbestos cement removal in Lichfield eliminates these risks entirely.
Our team ensures your safety through:
