Asbestos removal:
"Did you know that you could claim tax relief on the costs of removing asbestos from business premises? Not only that, you could actually receive a grant of an additional 50% of your costs as well as having the full cost reimbursed.
That is, 150% of your costs are paid to you in total.
It's part of what HMRC refers to as 'Corporate Intangibles Research and Development' which applies to 'land remediation relief' for work on land in a contaminated state.
The definition of land specifically includes any buildings on the land and asbestos is included as one of the relevant contaminants."
How does it work :
"The scheme provides relief from corporation tax. But you can benefit regardless of whether or not there is any corporation tax due (provided that your business is a corporation tax payer i.e. not a sole trader). If your business is generating enough profit to have a tax bill large enough then it's a straightforward reduction in your corporation tax bill. In other circumstances, such as a loss-making business, you can be provided with a tax credit in the form of a 'cash payment.
With asbestos removal costs typically being in the tens of thousands of pounds and in some cases hundreds of thousands, this is a significant financial benefit."

Review Comments
Installation of Alwitra roofing membrane. Inadequately framed to support 18mm plywood that the membrane goes onto , screws and nail heads projecting from exterior and interior work. Non rigid base for membrane caused undersized nails that were used lifted and poked through membrane. Finished membrane didn’t even over lap in some areas. Vertical cladding also installed by this outfit has been completely stripped out and redone properly as has the roofing membrane at great expense and inconvenience to us. Just a complete nightmare from start to finish. Without going into details here we are out of pocket by over £20,000.
I do not recommend this contractor. The work was unprofessional , sub standard and as stated all had to be ripped out and redone. The contractor is fully aware of our grievance. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about the standard of this company’s workmanship.
From the images I submit you can see the membrane doesn’t even over lap and the nail heads on the right making their way through the membrane as a result of the use of completely wrong fixings. You can see the nails that were used were too short and they didn’t even hit the poorly installed timbers underneath, let alone the ply and timber don’t even contact creating a bouncy finished surface. There were no additional dwangs fitted to support this structure.Notice the massive air gap underneath the membrane also. I could go on but what’s the point. I’m well out of pocket and will never recommend this contractor to anyone.

Work was done quickly and to a good standard, however beware if your roof is above head height, because this is a roofer that doesn't own any ladders! And he'll charge you £180 to hire some for a couple of hours.

Colin replied to me the same day about a small leak in my roof. The roofers arrived the next day and by the end of the week the job was done. They also noticed loose slates and crumbling stone work around my chimney . This work was also carried out by them within a week. Great communication and would highly recommend.

Urgent work needed done due to Storm Kathleen. Colin at 1st Roofing and Cladding replied instantly on Saturday afternoon. Repair was done by professionally and efficiently by 8:30 on Sunday morning. We’re now prepared for the further bad weather. Several other firms haven’t even got back to us yet.

We had a leak over our garage/summerhouse colin and his team were quick to respond and found the problem of the water ingress on first inspection.
This was repaired quickly efficiently and we have had no problems since. We would highly recommend 1st Roofing and Cladding.
Thanks again

we contacted 1st roofing to give us a quote on an overclad in our distribution warehouse. Colin was quick to reply and came out to site to give me an estimate on the works. colin and his team were great always in communication to keep me updated. thanks again 1st roofing and cladding

Following the ICB inspection, we accepted that remedial work was required to the barn roof and agreed to return to carry it out. The agreed work included removing and replacing the membrane and plywood, installing additional timber supports and using suitable screws.
Our return was agreed for 10 August 2026. The customers terminated our contract on 6 August, before that visit could take place, so we were unable to carry out the agreed remedial work or complete the outstanding installation.
We disagree that the entire roofing and cladding installation has been demonstrated to require replacement, and we dispute responsibility for the full losses claimed. We have requested the supporting technical reports and an itemised breakdown so these matters can be properly assessed.
We remain willing to cooperate through Edinburgh Trusted Trader towards a documented resolution.
