Asbestos removal in Clare.

The Clare market
Clare has a mix of pre-2000 housing, the Shannon industrial estates and a large rural and farm building stock with asbestos cement roofs. The main centres are Ennis and Shannon, with Kilrush, Ennistymon, Killaloe, Newmarket-on-Fergus and Sixmilebridge across the county.
The mid-west contractor supply is based around Limerick city, which sits immediately across the Shannon estuary from south-east Clare. That makes Clare one of the easier western counties to serve, with national firms also covering it. The travel element rises for west Clare and the Burren, but for Ennis, Shannon and the east it is modest.
Coverage across the county
- Ennis and central Clare, the main service area.
- Shannon and the south-east, close to Limerick and the industrial estates.
- East Clare (Killaloe, Scariff, Tulla).
- West Clare and the Burren (Kilrush, Kilkee, Ennistymon) with higher travel.
What it costs in Clare
There is no published price list for asbestos removal in Clare or anywhere in Ireland. The Limerick proximity keeps the travel element down for much of the county, but the job is still priced on area, access, material condition and disposal. The cost guide sets out the drivers, and roof removal covers the most common Clare job.

Frequently asked questions
Are there asbestos removal contractors based in Clare?
There is no Republic firm based in Clare in the current ARCA member directory, but the county has a useful advantage: Limerick city sits just across the Shannon. Regional and national asbestos firms reach most of Clare without the longest travel distances. See the Limerick page for the wider mid-west supply.
Does being near Limerick reduce the cost?
It reduces the travel element. A contractor crossing from Limerick to Ennis, Shannon or east Clare adds far less mobilisation than one travelling to a remote western county. The job itself is still priced the same way, on area, access, material condition and disposal, so the Limerick proximity is a logistics saving rather than a different rate. See the cost guide.
Where does Clare asbestos waste go?
Asbestos waste from Clare is hazardous waste, double-wrapped and carried by a permitted waste collector to an EPA-licensed transfer station, or exported under Transfrontier Shipment rules to a specialist facility in mainland Europe. You should receive a consignment note. See the disposal guide.
