Asbestos Removal in Dundee
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Dundee, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across Scotland.
Asbestos in Dundee
Dundee built its wealth on jute, journalism and jam, with the great jute mills lining the Tay and a redeveloped waterfront around the V&A museum. Its jute mills, tenements and post-war schemes such as Whitfield used asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement. Tenement flats and interwar homes across the city commonly contain artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement soffits and garage roofs.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Dundee 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 Dundee: FAQs
Are Dundee's jute mills likely to contain asbestos?
Yes — Dundee's surviving jute mills usually retain asbestos cement roofs, pipe lagging and AIB partitions from their working life. Converting or demolishing any mill requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first, which we carry out across the city.
Do Dundee tenements contain asbestos?
Often, yes. Dundee's tenement flats were widely modernised from the 1960s onwards, introducing artex, AIB and floor tiles, while shared closes can hold further materials. A survey before any refurbishment identifies what's present in both your flat and the common areas.
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.
