Grants to remove uralita and replace your roof
We tell you which grants fit your property (asbestos removal, renovation, solar panels), prepare the paperwork and file the application on your behalf. Whether a grant is awarded, and how much, depends on each call. In Catalonia, the Agència de Residus de Catalunya (ARC, the Catalan Waste Agency) pays per square metre of roof removed, up to €30,000 per property**. If your property is in Catalonia, work out yours:
Not sure of the size? A single-storey house usually has 60 to 120 m² of roof. We'll measure it by satellite for your quote.
Estimated ARC grant**
€2,250 – €3,200
Up to the cost of removal excluding VAT: at the lower end of the range, the grant would equal that cost.
Indicative cost of removal***
€2,250 – €3,200
+ VAT (€2,723 – €3,872 incl. VAT).
With the grant, you would still pay for the removal
€473 – €672
VAT included. The grant does not cover VAT or the new roof.
Not covered by the grant: VAT and the new roof. The grant is not guaranteed: it depends on a call being opened, on its rules and on the budget available, and it is paid after the works.
Calculated with the 2026 brackets. The call is closed: this is what you could receive if it is convened again with the same rules.
The ARC (Catalan Waste Agency) grant scheme is only for properties in Catalonia. In other regions of Spain, we'll tell you which grants are available.

In short
Calls for asbestos removal grants are published by Spain's regions and some town councils; they change every year and usually cover part of the removal. Open calls today: Navarre grants to remove asbestos from private non-residential buildings (2026) (until 31-10-2026). We help you apply for the grant: we prepare the paperwork and file the application on your behalf. Whether it is awarded, and how much, depends on each call and its requirements. From 959 € incl. VAT, free if we do the works.
Checked on 14 October 2026.

What you need to know about the ARC grant call
The 2026 call is closed
It is retroactive
It does not cover everything
Online only
To be completely honest: the grant depends on there being a call, on its budget and on you meeting its requirements. We will never give you a quote that only makes sense if you get the grant.
Usual requirements
Summary of the requirements of the ARC 2026 call (Catalonia only). Each call publishes its own rules: we go through them with you before starting.

- Waste delivered to an authorised waste manager, with proof of transport and delivery.
- Invoices and proof of payment for the removal, kept separate from the rest of the work.
- Work done within the period covered by the call and application submitted on time.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply if the work is already done?
Yes, if the work falls within the period covered by the call: the 2026 call was retroactive. What matters is keeping the work plan, the waste receipts and the invoices.
Does the grant cover the new roof?
No. The call pays for the asbestos removal. The new roof, solar panels and VAT are not eligible.
How long does it take to get paid?
It depends on each call's decision: first the grant is awarded, then it is paid. That is why we never plan the work as if the grant were an advance.
What if the budget runs out?
Applications that miss out do not receive a grant in that call. That is why it is worth having everything ready before it opens and applying on day one.
Can residents' associations apply?
Yes, for roofs, downpipes and other common parts with asbestos. The application is signed by the association's representative with the approval of the owners' meeting.
Can you promise I'll get it?
No. Nobody can: it depends on the call, its budget and whether you meet the requirements. What we do is prepare the paperwork properly and file the application on time, on your behalf.
What if my property is not in Catalonia?
We tell you which grants your region or town council offers for asbestos removal, renovation or solar panels, and help you apply just the same: we prepare the paperwork and file the application for you.
Want to know what it would cost you with the grant?
Enter your address and we'll measure your roof by satellite. We reply within 5 minutes.
What do you need?
Choose one or more. We handle the whole process, or just the parts you need.
