Commercial asbestos removal in Yorkshire
Safe asbestos removal for businesses, landlords and property managers
If your home was built before 2000, there is a strong chance its construction involved some asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These were widely used in residential construction, particularly in garages, sheds, roofing materials, ceilings and flooring.
If your commercial property was built before 2000, it may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These were commonly used in offices, retail units, warehouses, industrial buildings and public-sector properties due to their durability and fire-resistant properties.
While asbestos is generally safe when left undisturbed, it can become a serious risk during refurbishment, maintenance or demolition work. When disturbed, fibres can be released into the air, creating a health hazard for occupants, staff and contractors.
At Othick Property Services, we provide safe, reliable non-licensed commercial asbestos removal services across East Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. We work with businesses of all sizes, helping them safely remove asbestos from roofs, cladding, ceilings, flooring and other building materials.
We can also carry out reinstatement works following removal, allowing your project to continue without delay or the need for multiple contractors.
Have you had an asbestos survey?
Before any asbestos removal work takes place, it’s important to establish whether asbestos is present in your premises and assess its condition. If you suspect asbestos within your property, we can arrange an asbestos inspection to help identify the materials involved and determine the safest course of action.
Do you need asbestos removed from your commercial property?
Many businesses only discover asbestos when planning refurbishment or maintenance works.
If your building was constructed before 2000, it is strongly recommended that an asbestos inspection is carried out before any work begins. This ensures any asbestos-containing materials are identified and managed safely.
We can assist with inspections and provide clear, practical advice on the safest approach for your site.
Common asbestos in commercial buildings
Asbestos was widely used in commercial construction throughout the twentieth century, particularly in industrial and public buildings.
Typical locations include:
- Warehouse and industrial roofing
- Wall cladding and cement panels
- Ceiling tiles and coatings
- Pipe insulation and gaskets
- Flooring materials and adhesives
- Guttering and drainage systems
If asbestos is present, it is important that it is properly assessed before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place.

Our team carefully plans each asbestos removal project to minimise disruption to your business, staff and customers. Where possible, work can be scheduled outside of operational hours or carried out in phases to allow your site to remain partially operational.

Our recent work
Read the full case study“What a fantastic company — I genuinely couldn’t recommend them more highly.
I recently acquired an old outbuilding/barn next to my property that had definitely seen better days, and I was looking for a company that could help with several structural issues, replace the old asbestos roof and completely renovate the frontage. Having dealt with many contractors over the years, I knew as soon as I met Jason that he was the right person for the job.
Jason is a great guy and has built a brilliant team around him. Salty and Martin genuinely cared about doing a quality job, and their workmanship throughout was excellent. What also stood out was that Jason always tried to find practical ways to keep the project affordable without compromising on quality.
We are absolutely delighted with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Othick Property Services to anyone.”

How quickly can asbestos be removed?
Timeframes vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. We can often schedule works to align with project deadlines.
Can you work around business operations?
Yes. Where possible, we plan works to minimise disruption, including phased or out-of-hours working.

All asbestos waste is securely packaged and disposed of at authorised facilities in accordance with current regulations.
