Solutions for asbestos cement roofs

Health & Safety and Technical Information 


Prior to being launched commercially, an official trial of the AranovusTM system was witnessed by a UKAS accredited laboratory who carried out monitoring for asbestos fibres in the breathing zones of the cleaning operatives and at strategically chosen environmental locations. All results were below 0.010f/ml, satisfying the duty imposed by the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations to prevent exposure to asbestos and demonstrating the insignificant health risk of the operation in relation to asbestos exposure.

  • A safe system of work has been developed, which minimises the loads placed on the fragile asbestos roofs.
  • All access to the roof is gained via Mobile Elevated Work Platforms, system scaffolds and specialist access equipment.


  • The design of the enclosed high-pressure water jet system ensures that there is no significant release of asbestos fibres or of water spray to the atmosphere.
  • A high performance filtration system collects and filters water run-off, allowing safe disposal of the ‘decontaminated’ water.
  • All operatives are rigorously trained and headed by an experienced team leader.
