Industrial asbestos removal in Yorkshire

Safe, compliant asbestos removal for industrial buildings

While these materials can remain safe if left undisturbed and in good condition, damage, deterioration or refurbishment work can release harmful fibres, creating significant health risks and legal responsibilities for building owners and managers.

At Othick Property Services, we provide professional industrial asbestos removal services across Yorkshire, helping businesses safely manage asbestos risks while maintaining compliant, operational premises. Whether you’re replacing an ageing asbestos roof, refurbishing a warehouse or removing asbestos-containing materials as part of a larger maintenance project, our experienced team delivers safe, efficient solutions with minimal disruption.

We understand the challenges of working in live industrial environments and carefully plan every project to protect your workforce, your operations and your property.

Have you had an asbestos survey?

Before any asbestos removal work takes place, it is important to establish whether asbestos is present 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.

Our industrial asbestos services

Asbestos roof removal and replacement

Asbestos cement roofing remains common on older factories, warehouses, workshops and agricultural-style industrial buildings. We safely remove non-licensed asbestos roofing before installing modern, durable replacement roofing systems that improve weather protection, energy efficiency and the appearance of your premises.

Asbestos removal during refurbishment

Industrial refurbishment projects often uncover asbestos-containing materials hidden within walls, ceilings, pipework or plant rooms. We safely remove affected materials, allowing refurbishment works to continue safely and in compliance with current legislation.

Damaged asbestos removal

Storm damage, accidental impact or deterioration can leave asbestos-containing materials exposed or unstable. We provide prompt removal services to help businesses manage risk and restore safe working conditions.

Industrial building upgrades

Whether you’re extending a production facility, modernising a warehouse or repurposing an industrial unit, asbestos removal is often an essential first step. We work alongside refurbishment and maintenance projects to provide a complete solution through a single trusted contractor.

Understanding non-licensed asbestos removal

Many people assume all asbestos removal requires a specialist asbestos licence. In reality, the regulations distinguish between licensed and non-licensed asbestos work. We specialise in non-licensed asbestos removal, which typically includes lower-risk materials such as asbestos cement products, floor tiles and certain textured coatings.

Although a licence is not required for these materials, the work is still subject to strict regulations governing:

  • Safe working practices
  • Risk assessment
  • Personal protective equipment
  • Waste handling
  • Transportation and disposal – see certificate pictured

Where licensed asbestos removal is required, we can advise you accordingly.

“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.”

Industrial asbestos removal FAQs

What types of industrial buildings commonly contain asbestos?

Many factories, warehouses, workshops and industrial units built before 2000 contain asbestos in roofing sheets, wall cladding, insulation boards, ceiling materials, pipe lagging and other building products.

Can you remove asbestos without closing our site?

In many cases, yes. Every project is carefully assessed and planned to minimise disruption wherever possible. Depending on the location and condition of the asbestos, work can often be phased or scheduled around your operations.

Do you replace asbestos roofs after removal?

Yes. We regularly remove asbestos cement roofs and install modern replacement roofing systems, providing a complete end-to-end solution that improves both safety and building performance.

Is asbestos dangerous if it's left alone?

Asbestos-containing materials that are in good condition and remain undisturbed do not always require removal. However, if they become damaged, deteriorate or are likely to be disturbed during maintenance or refurbishment work, they should be professionally assessed and managed.

Can you remove asbestos as part of a larger refurbishment project?

Absolutely. We frequently carry out asbestos removal alongside roofing, building repairs and refurbishment works, allowing clients to manage multiple elements of their project through a single contractor.

Which areas do you cover?

We provide industrial asbestos removal services for businesses across Yorkshire, supporting manufacturers, warehouse operators, engineering firms, logistics companies and other industrial organisations with safe, compliant asbestos management.
