Asbestos roofing can still be found on thousands of commercial and agricultural properties across Ireland. While full asbestos removal isn’t always necessary, safe and professional asbestos roof cleaning requires a specialist approach. That’s where we come in.
At UEH Ireland, we offer non-licensed asbestos roof cleaning services using fully compliant, safety-first methods that protect your building, your personnel, and the surrounding environment. Whether it’s a warehouse, factory or farm building, our team can clean it thoroughly, safely and in full compliance with Irish regulations.
Corrugated roofing sheets containing Chrysotile (white asbestos) were widely used in Irish construction up until the late 1990s (they were fully banned from use in 2004, but when working on any roof pre-2000, you have to presume there is asbestos present). These sheets typically consist of reinforced concrete containing around 10–15% white asbestos fibres.
While stable when left undisturbed, these materials become hazardous when they degrade or are cleaned incorrectly. That’s why asbestos roof cleaning should only be carried out by experienced professionals using the correct systems, PPE, and waste control methods.
The use of high-pressure washers with open nozzles is especially dangerous, as it can release harmful fibres into the air, damage the roof and lead to serious health and legal consequences.
At UEH Ireland, we use only safe, government-compliant cleaning systems for asbestos roofs. These methods ensure that no fibres are released into the environment and all work is completed within official safety guidelines.
Our approved cleaning processes include:
All water runoff and debris is filtered down to 0.5 microns, contained safely and disposed of as hazardous waste by certified contractors, in line with Irish environmental standards.
Health and safety are at the heart of everything we do. Before any work begins, our in-house Health & Safety Officer will carry out a full site survey and produce bespoke Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS).
While on site, we ensure:
All of our asbestos cleaning operatives hold valid, up-to-date certifications, including:
This attention to detail is exactly why so many property owners trust UEH Ireland with their asbestos roof cleaning projects.
Once your asbestos roof has been professionally cleaned and treated, we strongly recommend following up with roof encapsulation. This involves applying a protective roof coating that seals the surface, traps any residual fibres and prevents further degradation.
This extra step extends the life of your roof and gives long-term peace of mind that your roof is protected, weather-resistant, and fibre-secure.
