Asbestos Materials Extracted from Dublin Properties
Expert extraction of every asbestos-containing component discovered in Dublin residential and commercial buildings
| Asbestos Material | Risk Level | Typical Locations in Irish Buildings |
|---|---|---|
| Asbestos Cement Roofing | Medium | Garage roofs, shed roofs, corrugated roof sheeting, flat roof panels (pre-2000 buildings) |
| Asbestos Insulation Boards (AIB) | High | Ceiling tiles, partition walls, fire doors, airing cupboards, boiler rooms |
| Pipe Lagging & Insulation | High | Hot water pipes, heating systems, boiler insulation, industrial pipework |

Critical Warning: DIY Asbestos Removal is Illegal & Life-Threatening
Undisturbed asbestos poses minimal risk, but improper handling releases microscopic fibres causing incurable lung diseases (mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer) developing 20-50 years after exposure. Commercial DIY removal is illegal in Ireland with fines exceeding €50,000. For homeowners, HSA strongly advises against DIY work - one disturbance event can contaminate your entire Dublin home. Only HSA-licensed contractors possess training, equipment, and insurance for safe asbestos work.
Dublin Asbestos Removal: When Is It Necessary?
Typical Dublin circumstances demanding professional asbestos extraction services
Dublin Property Renovations & Extensions
Planning a loft conversion in your Dublin terraced house? Extending an older property? Refitting kitchens in a 1970s semi-detached? Dublin Building Control requires asbestos surveys for pre-2000 properties before issuing commencement notices. Essential for planning permission applications and avoiding costly project delays.
Damaged Garage Roofs & Broken Materials
Common in Dublin: cracked asbestos cement garage roofs after storms, deteriorating shed roofing from weathering, or broken Artex ceilings in older homes. Storm damage, frost, and Dublin's damp climate accelerate deterioration. Damaged asbestos releases harmful fibres - requires immediate professional assessment and removal.
Pre-Purchase Survey Identifies Asbestos
Buying a property in Dublin? Mortgage lenders and Building Energy Rating (BER) assessors often require asbestos surveys for pre-2000 buildings. If surveys identify asbestos in poor condition - particularly friable materials in ceiling voids or pipe lagging - removal before purchase completion protects your investment and satisfies lender requirements.
Selling Dublin Property or Letting to Tenants
Dublin property market increasingly demands asbestos-free certification. Landlords have legal duties under Residential Tenancies Act to provide safe accommodation - asbestos management plans or removal certificates required. Selling? Proactive removal can add 5-10% to property value by eliminating buyer concerns and speeding sales through conveyancing.
Dublin Site Demolition & Redevelopment
Demolishing old Dublin buildings for redevelopment? Dublin City Council and HSA require complete asbestos surveys and professional removal before demolition permits are issued. Critical for brownfield sites, old industrial units in Ballymount/Clondalkin, and residential redevelopment projects. 14 days HSA notification required for licensed work.
Dublin Workplace Safety & Compliance
Dublin employers and commercial landlords must maintain asbestos registers and management plans under Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act. HSA inspections can issue improvement or prohibition notices requiring immediate action. Insurance policies may mandate removal for commercial properties. Essential for offices, shops, warehouses, and industrial premises across Dublin.
Dublin Asbestos Removal: HSA & EPA Regulatory Compliance
Licensed Dublin asbestos extraction must adhere to Health and Safety Authority (HSA) Regulations 2006-2010 alongside EPA hazardous materials protocols. Non-adherence incurs penalties exceeding €50,000 plus criminal prosecution. Our Dublin technicians guarantee complete regulatory alignment throughout all operations.
Health & Safety Authority (HSA) Requirements
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Exposure to Asbestos) Regulations 2006-2010, all asbestos removal work in Ireland must meet strict standards:
- Licensed contractors only - All asbestos removal work must be performed by HSA-licensed specialists with certified training
- Competent person requirement - Asbestos surveys must be conducted by accredited surveyors with P402 or equivalent certification
- Risk assessment - Detailed risk assessment and method statement required before work begins
- HSA notification - 14 days written notice to HSA required for licensable asbestos removal work
- Air monitoring - Continuous air quality monitoring during removal and clearance testing after completion
EPA Hazardous Waste Management Standards
Under the Waste Management (Hazardous Waste) Regulations 2022, asbestos is classified as hazardous waste requiring strict disposal protocols:
- EPA-licensed disposal facilities only - All asbestos waste must be disposed of at approved Irish hazardous waste facilities
- UN-rated packaging - Asbestos must be double-wrapped in approved UN-rated bags with hazard labelling
- Waste consignment notes - Complete chain of custody documentation from collection to final disposal
- Secure transport - Hazardous waste must be transported in approved vehicles by licensed carriers
- Disposal certificates - EPA disposal certificates provided for your permanent records and property documentation
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Non-compliance with Irish asbestos regulations carries serious consequences for property owners and contractors:
- Fines up to €50,000+ - Summary conviction fines for breaching HSA asbestos regulations
- Criminal prosecution - Indictable offences can result in unlimited fines and imprisonment
- Property value impact - Undisclosed asbestos or improper removal severely impacts property sale value
- Insurance voiding - Non-compliant asbestos work can void property and public liability insurance
- Health compensation claims - Employers and property owners liable for health compensation claims from asbestos exposure

Frequently Asked Questions About Asbestos Removal in Dublin
Expert answers to your questions about professional asbestos removal services in Dublin
What types of asbestos materials do you remove?
We safely remove all types of asbestos-containing materials including asbestos cement roof sheets (the most common type in Irish properties), garage roofs, downpipes, guttering, asbestos insulation board (AIB), pipe lagging, asbestos floor tiles, textured coatings (Artex), and asbestos cement panels. Our HSA-licensed team is qualified to handle both friable (easily crumbled) and non-friable asbestos materials across residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
Can asbestos removal be completed during winter weather?
Yes, we provide asbestos removal services year-round throughout Ireland, including during winter months. Weather conditions are carefully monitored, and work may be temporarily paused during severe conditions (heavy rain, high winds) to ensure safety and compliance. For external asbestos removal projects, we use weatherproof containment systems and schedule work during suitable weather windows. Internal asbestos removal work is unaffected by weather and proceeds as scheduled.
What safety measures protect neighbouring properties during asbestos removal?
We implement comprehensive safety protocols to protect neighbouring properties including: sealed containment zones with negative air pressure systems to prevent fibre migration, warning signs and barriers to restrict access, air monitoring equipment positioned around the work area, wetted removal techniques to minimise airborne fibres, approved sheeting and barriers preventing cross-contamination, and communication with neighbours about work schedules and safety measures. Our HSA-licensed procedures ensure zero risk to adjacent properties.
Can I sell my property if it contains asbestos?
Yes, you can sell a property containing asbestos in Ireland, but it must be disclosed to potential buyers. Having a professional asbestos survey and management plan (or removal certificate if already removed) significantly improves buyer confidence and can increase property value. Many buyers prefer properties where asbestos has been professionally removed with full documentation. We provide fast-turnaround removal services (1-3 days for most residential properties) and complete certification to facilitate property sales.
What is the difference between friable and non-friable asbestos?
Friable asbestos can be crumbled by hand pressure and releases fibres easily, making it more dangerous (examples: asbestos insulation, pipe lagging, spray coatings). Non-friable asbestos is bonded in materials like cement and doesn't release fibres unless damaged (examples: asbestos cement roof sheets, floor tiles). Both types require professional removal, but friable asbestos demands stricter containment and HSA licensing. Our team is fully licensed for all asbestos classifications and uses appropriate removal techniques for each material type.
How do you ensure complete asbestos removal with no contamination?
Our quality assurance process includes: thorough visual inspection before and after removal, HEPA-filtered negative air pressure systems maintaining containment, wetted removal techniques preventing fibre release, multiple decontamination zones for personnel and equipment, independent laboratory air clearance testing (testing air samples to verify zero asbestos fibres remain), surface swab testing of surrounding areas if requested, and photographic documentation at each stage. We don't consider a project complete until independent laboratory results confirm zero airborne asbestos fibres.
