Understanding Asbestos Cement Roofing
Asbestos cement roofs, particularly those containing chrysotile asbestos, are commonly found in older industrial structures. With increased awareness of the health risks linked to asbestos, many businesses now turn to specialists for the safe handling and removal of these materials. At Bristol Industrial Roofing, we have extensive knowledge of the legal requirements governing asbestos management and are committed to ensuring a safe work environment throughout the entire process. We focus on safety and compliance, ensuring your building meets all necessary regulatory standards.

Our roofing specialists are fully trained to manage non-licensed chrysotile asbestos, and they are skilled in identifying risks posed by other types of asbestos, such as amosite and crocidolite. For any licensed asbestos work, we work closely with a trusted network of licensed asbestos removal contractors to ensure the work is performed safely and in full compliance with regulations. With Bristol Industrial Roofing, you can rest assured that your project is handled by qualified experts dedicated to maintaining safety and high-quality standards.

Tax Relief for UK Companies
To help alleviate the financial costs of asbestos management, UK companies can benefit from a tax relief scheme. Under the Finance Act 2001, businesses can claim 150% of their asbestos remediation costs against taxable profits. For instance, if asbestos removal costs £10,000, the company can deduct £15,000 from its taxable income. The scheme also offers cash rebates for businesses that experience losses. For more details, consult Section 70 and Schedule 22 of the Finance Act 2001 or speak with your accountant.
