Asbestos Roof Cleaning

Softwashing UK can treat asbestos roofs for organic growth. Working with asbestos is a highly regulated activity under the Control of Asbestos Regulations Act of 2012. As a potentially hazardous material, all suppliers working with asbestos need to be fully compliant. All of Softwashing UK’s operatives are fully trained, qualified, and insured to work with asbestos. Softwashing UK have also invested in the correct proprietary equipment to clean asbestos roofs. With health and safety to consider of course, asbestos roof cleaning is usually more expensive when compared to the cost of cleaning other roofs. Rest assured, however, that Softwashing UK will work hard to deliver a competitive quote that matches our exceptional quality when cleaning asbestos roof sheets.

We follow recommended procedure to the letter, and before cleaning commences we will inspect the entire roof. It is vital to seal off and plug any gaps where toxic asbestos slurry can enter the building, and we do this using polythene sheeting and duct tape. We will then perform a superficial clean to get rid of obvious dust and debris.

High pressure washing is not recommended for cleaning asbestos roofs. In fact UK the government warn against it, as an unpredictable high pressure jet can cause risky contamination. There are several government recommended softwashing processes and we follow all them as required. We often clean the roof from the ground, using extendable water fed poles to lightly apply the  recommended biocide over the roof. This tends to be the most cost effective method, and will work over time, letting mother nature finish the job.

It goes without saying that Softwashing UK will fully clean and decontaminate the area, in full, before leaving the site. Softwashing UK clean all asbestos roofs fully, in total health and safety compliance, with no risk to the property or personnel. When cleaning asbestos roofs, call Softwashing UK.
