Many properties in Bakewell and the surrounding Derbyshire Dales, particularly those built or refurbished before the year 2000, may contain non-licensed asbestos materials. These are typically lower risk compared to friable, licensed asbestos, but they can still release dangerous fibres if damaged or improperly handled. Common examples we encounter include:

• Asbestos Cement: Often found in garage roofs, shed roofs, corrugated sheets, downpipes, and fascias.
• Textured Coatings (Artex): Frequently used on ceilings and walls.
• Vinyl Floor Tiles & Bitumen Adhesives: Found beneath carpets or other floor coverings.
• Asbestos Paper: Sometimes used as insulation or backing in various applications.

Identifying and managing these materials is crucial for property safety. If you suspect your Bakewell home or business has any of these, it's vital to seek professional advice.

Even for non-licensed materials, attempting DIY asbestos removal is dangerous and illegal. Disturbing asbestos cement or Artex without proper training, protective equipment, and containment procedures can release microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to serious lung diseases, including mesothelioma and asbestosis, decades later.
