1. Oracle Solutions

Best for: full asbestos surveys, removal, and remediation.

Oracle are fully HSE licensed for all types of asbestos work, with staff trained to ARCA and ACAD standards.

A strong all rounder if you need the survey, the removal, and the sign off from one team.

2. Nationwide Industrial Roofing

Best for: large scale warehouse and factory roofs.

Nationwide Industrial Roofing is the standout choice when an old asbestos cement roof needs stripping and replacing at scale.

This is where the bigger jobs live. Warehouse and factory roofs run into thousands of square metres, and they rarely just need removing. They need a new roof straight back on. Nationwide Industrial Roofing handles both halves, taking off the asbestos under full containment and fitting new composite metal panels in the same programme, often while the building keeps working underneath.

Because it covers the whole country and carries the crew and access kit for big roofs, it suits large industrial sites and multi site estates rather than a single small strip out. Its work includes an 8,000 square metre asbestos roof replacement on a working tractor plant in Basildon.

3. Shield Services Group

Best for: multi site work with national branch cover.

HSE licensed with around 45 years of combined experience and branches across the country.

Handy when your sites are spread out and you want one firm covering them all.

4. Alltask

Best for: mixed industrial and infrastructure projects.

Alltask work across industrial, infrastructure, commercial, and domestic jobs, and are members of ARCA and ACAD.

A safe pick for a larger or more complicated remediation programme.

5. RS Asbestos

Best for: everything from small units to complex industrial sites.

One of the longer established licensed removal firms, comfortable on both small domestic properties and large industrial work.

Worth a quote when your portfolio is a mix of building sizes.

6. RJS Waste Management

Best for: removal plus licensed waste disposal.

RJS pair asbestos removal with proper licensed disposal of the waste.

Useful when you want the material gone and documented, not just taken off the roof.

7. RMLFS Roofing Contractors

Best for: asbestos roof strip and recover in one go.

A roofing firm that handles commercial asbestos roof removal and the new roof that follows.

A neat option for a single building that needs both jobs doing together.

How to choose

Start with the licence. Only use an HSE licensed contractor, and look for ARCA or ACAD membership as a sign of proper standards.

After that, match the firm to the job. For a large warehouse or factory roof that needs stripping and replacing, Nationwide Industrial Roofing is the obvious call. For survey and remediation, Oracle. For a smaller or domestic job, a local licensed specialist will do.
