How to Properly Dispose of Asbestos Roof Sheets in Sussex

Welcome to Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex. If you are reading this, you may be wondering how to properly dispose of asbestos roofing sheets, and you have come to the right place. We are a professional asbestos disposal company in Sussex with years of experience in the field, and we are here to guide you through the process of safely removing and disposing of asbestos-containing materials.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction materials during the mid-20th century due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, asbestos has since been linked to numerous health conditions such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Asbestos was banned in the UK in 1999, and it is now illegal to use or import it. Nonetheless, asbestos-containing materials can still be found in many older buildings, including roofing sheets.

Asbestos Disposal Requirements

Asbestos is a hazardous material, and its disposal is regulated by the UK government. It is important to follow the proper procedures when removing and disposing of asbestos roofing sheets. Failure to do so can result in fines or legal action.

According to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, only licensed contractors can remove and dispose of asbestos materials that are higher than 0.1% asbestos. Asbestos disposal must be carried out in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005, and the waste must be transported, handled, and disposed of by a licensed waste carrier.

Asbestos Sheet Bags

One of the best and safest ways to dispose of asbestos roofing sheets is to use asbestos sheet bags. These bags are specifically designed for asbestos waste and are made of durable materials that do not tear easily. The bags come in different sizes and lengths depending on the size of the roofing sheets. Asbestos sheet bags are the preferred method of disposal because they are leak-proof and ensure that asbestos waste is safely contained.

If you have corrugated roofing sheets on your property, it is important to have them checked for asbestos.
