Asbestos Removal in Cardiff
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Cardiff, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across Wales.
Asbestos in Cardiff
Cardiff grew into the world's greatest coal-exporting port, leaving the grand docklands of Tiger Bay, now Cardiff Bay, and miles of Victorian terraces in Roath and Canton. Its docks, industrial buildings and post-war estates such as Llanrumney used asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement. Terraced and interwar homes across the Welsh capital commonly contain artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Cardiff properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.

Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Cardiff: FAQs
Are Cardiff's Victorian terraces likely to contain asbestos?
Often, yes. The terraces across Roath, Canton and Grangetown have usually been modernised since the 1960s, leaving artex, AIB near boilers and asbestos floor tiles. A refurbishment survey before any work identifies these materials and keeps your project safe and legal.
Do you survey commercial premises around Cardiff Bay?
We do. The warehouses and converted industrial buildings around Cardiff Bay frequently contain asbestos cement roofs and lagging, and all non-domestic premises need a management survey by law. We provide a detailed register and a practical management plan.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
