Important: Never Attempt DIY Asbestos Removal

Always engage HSA-licensed professionals for safe identification, removal, and disposal of asbestos materials.

When Do You Need Asbestos Removal?

Common scenarios requiring professional asbestos removal in Ireland

Building Renovation or Extension

Any renovation work on pre-2000 buildings requires asbestos survey and removal before construction begins. This includes loft conversions, extensions, kitchen refits, and bathroom upgrades that may disturb asbestos materials.

Visible Damage to Asbestos Materials

Cracked, broken, or deteriorating asbestos cement roofing, damaged insulation boards, or friable asbestos materials require immediate professional removal. Damaged asbestos releases dangerous fibres into the air.

Failed Asbestos Survey Results

If a management survey, refurbishment survey, or demolition survey identifies high-risk asbestos materials in poor condition, immediate removal is typically recommended rather than ongoing management.

Property Sale or Lease

Many property transactions now require asbestos surveys and removal certificates. Removing asbestos before sale can increase property value and speed up the transaction process, avoiding buyer concerns.

Building Demolition

All asbestos-containing materials must be professionally removed before any demolition work begins. This is a legal requirement under Irish Health and Safety Authority regulations for all demolition projects.

Health & Safety Compliance

Commercial property owners and employers have legal duties under Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 to manage asbestos risks. Removal may be required to comply with HSA enforcement notices or insurance requirements.

HSA Regulations & Legal Compliance in Ireland

Professional asbestos removal in Ireland must comply with the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) Regulations 2006-2010 and EPA hazardous waste requirements. Non-compliance can result in fines up to €50,000+ and prosecution. Our team ensures full legal compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Health & Safety Authority (HSA) Requirements

Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006-2010, all asbestos removal work in Ireland must meet strict standards:

  • Licensed contractors only - All asbestos removal work must be performed by HSA-licensed specialists with certified training
  • Competent person requirement - Asbestos surveys must be conducted by accredited surveyors with P402 or equivalent certification
  • Risk assessment - Detailed risk assessment and method statement required before work begins
  • HSA notification - 14 days written notice to HSA required for licensable asbestos removal work
  • Air monitoring - Continuous air quality monitoring during removal and clearance testing after completion

EPA Hazardous Waste Management Standards

Under the Waste Management (Hazardous Waste) Regulations 2022, asbestos is classified as hazardous waste requiring strict disposal protocols:

  • EPA-licensed disposal facilities only - All asbestos waste must be disposed of at approved Irish hazardous waste facilities
  • UN-rated packaging - Asbestos must be double-wrapped in approved UN-rated bags with hazard labelling
  • Waste consignment notes - Complete chain of custody documentation from collection to final disposal
  • Secure transport - Hazardous waste must be transported in approved vehicles by licensed carriers
  • Disposal certificates - EPA disposal certificates provided for your permanent records and property documentation

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with Irish asbestos regulations carries serious consequences for property owners and contractors:

  • Fines up to €50,000+ - Summary conviction fines for breaching HSA asbestos regulations
  • Criminal prosecution - Indictable offences can result in unlimited fines and imprisonment
  • Property value impact - Undisclosed asbestos or improper removal severely impacts property sale value
  • Insurance voiding - Non-compliant asbestos work can void property and public liability insurance
  • Health compensation claims - Employers and property owners liable for health compensation claims from asbestos exposure

Frequently Asked Questions About Asbestos Removal

Expert answers to your questions about professional asbestos removal services in Ireland

What types of asbestos materials do you remove?

We safely remove all types of asbestos-containing materials including asbestos cement roof sheets (the most common type in Irish properties), garage roofs, downpipes, guttering, asbestos insulation board (AIB), pipe lagging, asbestos floor tiles, textured coatings (Artex), and asbestos cement panels. Our HSA-licensed team is qualified to handle both friable (easily crumbled) and non-friable asbestos materials across residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Can asbestos removal be completed during winter weather?

Yes, we provide asbestos removal services year-round throughout Ireland, including during winter months. Weather conditions are carefully monitored, and work may be temporarily paused during severe conditions (heavy rain, high winds) to ensure safety and compliance. For external asbestos removal projects, we use weatherproof containment systems and schedule work during suitable weather windows. Internal asbestos removal work is unaffected by weather and proceeds as scheduled.

What safety measures protect neighbouring properties during asbestos removal?

We implement comprehensive safety protocols to protect neighbouring properties including: sealed containment zones with negative air pressure systems to prevent fibre migration, warning signs and barriers to restrict access, air monitoring equipment positioned around the work area, wetted removal techniques to minimise airborne fibres, approved sheeting and barriers preventing cross-contamination, and communication with neighbours about work schedules and safety measures. Our HSA-licensed procedures ensure zero risk to adjacent properties.

Can I sell my property if it contains asbestos?

Yes, you can sell a property containing asbestos in Ireland, but it must be disclosed to potential buyers. Having a professional asbestos survey and management plan (or removal certificate if already removed) significantly improves buyer confidence and can increase property value. Many buyers prefer properties where asbestos has been professionally removed with full documentation. We provide fast-turnaround removal services (1-3 days for most residential properties) and complete certification to facilitate property sales.

What is the difference between friable and non-friable asbestos?

Friable asbestos can be crumbled by hand pressure and releases fibres easily, making it more dangerous (examples: asbestos insulation, pipe lagging, spray coatings). Non-friable asbestos is bonded in materials like cement and doesn't release fibres unless damaged (examples: asbestos cement roof sheets, floor tiles). Both types require professional removal, but friable asbestos demands stricter containment and HSA licensing. Our team is fully licensed for all asbestos classifications and uses appropriate removal techniques for each material type.

How do you ensure complete asbestos removal with no contamination?

Our quality assurance process includes: thorough visual inspection before and after removal, HEPA-filtered negative air pressure systems maintaining containment, wetted removal techniques preventing fibre release, multiple decontamination zones for personnel and equipment, independent laboratory air clearance testing (testing air samples to verify zero asbestos fibres remain), surface swab testing of surrounding areas if requested, and photographic documentation at each stage. We don't consider a project complete until independent laboratory results confirm zero airborne asbestos fibres.
