SPV Special Projects
Asbestos roof removal and replacement with potential 150% tax relief support
Commercial and industrial buildings with asbestos-containing roofs can carry safety, compliance and maintenance risks. SPV Special Projects can support the full route from inspection and removal planning through to compliant disposal and installation of a modern replacement roof or cladding system.
Where the qualifying conditions are met, some asbestos remediation costs may also support a Land Remediation Relief claim. SPV provides clear project documentation and cost breakdowns for your accountant or tax adviser to review.
Client overview
A clearer route through asbestos remediation, replacement roofing and claim evidence
Many commercial and industrial buildings still contain asbestos roofing materials. Removing and replacing these systems can improve safety, reduce long-term maintenance risk and support future building performance.
SPV Special Projects helps clients understand the practical route: survey, safe removal planning, specialist coordination, disposal evidence, replacement roof specification and handover documentation.
Our role is to deliver the works safely and provide clear technical and cost documentation for professional advisers.
Survey and assessment
Roof inspection, condition assessment, drone surveys where appropriate and coordination of asbestos surveys and sampling where required.
Safe removal planning
Risk assessments, method statements, sequencing, access planning, exclusion zones and involvement of licensed asbestos contractors where the material or works require it.
Replacement roof delivery
Installation of modern roofing, sheeting or cladding systems with handover documentation, completion photographs and final project records.
Land Remediation Relief
What is the potential tax relief?
Land Remediation Relief is a UK Corporation Tax relief designed to support companies that clean up contaminated land or buildings. Where the qualifying conditions are met, a company may be able to claim a 100% deduction for eligible remediation costs, plus an additional 50% deduction.
For example, if GBP 100,000 of a project is identified as qualifying asbestos remediation expenditure, the company may be able to deduct GBP 150,000 when calculating taxable profits. The actual tax saving depends on the company’s Corporation Tax rate and wider tax position.
This page is general information only. Any claim should be reviewed and submitted by the client’s accountant or tax adviser.
What may qualify
Can asbestos roof removal qualify?
Potentially qualifying remediation costs
Asbestos can fall within the scope of Land Remediation Relief where it forms part of land or buildings acquired in a contaminated state and the company did not cause the contamination. For roofing projects, the potentially qualifying element is usually the asbestos remediation work.
- Asbestos surveys and investigations.
- Specialist removal planning.
- Containment and dust-control measures.
- Removal, transport and disposal of asbestos waste.
Replacement works need clear separation
The replacement roof or cladding system may need to be treated separately for tax purposes. SPV can provide transparent cost breakdowns so your professional adviser can identify which elements may support a Land Remediation Relief claim.
- Remediation, removal and disposal costs.
- Replacement roofing and cladding works.
- Optional upgrades or performance improvements.
- Project evidence and completion records.
Eligibility guide
Who may be eligible?
Your company may be able to claim Land Remediation Relief where the following requirements are satisfied. These points are a practical guide only; eligibility should be confirmed by your accountant or tax adviser.
| Requirement | What this means |
|---|---|
| Company claimant | The claimant is usually a UK company within the Corporation Tax regime. |
| Contamination already present | The asbestos should normally have been present when the land or building was acquired. |
| Not the polluter | The company, or a connected party, must not have caused or introduced the asbestos contamination. |
| Property interest | The property is owned by the company, or held under a qualifying long lease or major interest. |
| No subsidy | The relevant works are not funded by a grant or subsidy. |
| Proper records | Costs are evidenced and separated between remediation, removal, disposal and replacement works. |
| Professional tax review | The claim is reviewed and submitted by the company’s accountant or tax adviser. |

FAQs
Common client questions
Is the 150% asbestos roof relief a government grant?
No. It is not a grant. It is a Corporation Tax relief called Land Remediation Relief. Where the conditions are met, qualifying companies may be able to claim a 100% deduction plus an additional 50% deduction on qualifying remediation expenditure.
Does the whole roof replacement qualify?
Not necessarily. The asbestos remediation element is the part most likely to be relevant. The replacement roof, cladding or upgrade works may need to be costed separately and considered under different tax rules. SPV can provide clear cost breakdowns for your accountant.
Can SPV confirm whether my company qualifies?
SPV can explain the process and provide the project evidence needed, but we do not provide tax advice. Your accountant or tax adviser should confirm eligibility and prepare any claim.
What buildings is this relevant to?
It is most relevant to commercial, industrial, retail, education, healthcare, warehouse, logistics, hospitality and similar business premises where a company owns or holds a qualifying interest in the property.
Can SPV remove and replace the roof?
Yes. SPV can support the full process, including roof inspection, project planning, asbestos-related coordination, safe removal, disposal evidence and installation of a replacement roofing or cladding system.

Important note
This page is general information for commercial clients. It is not tax, legal or asbestos removal advice. Land Remediation Relief is not automatic, and eligibility depends on the company, property ownership, tax position, property history and the nature of the works.
