Many properties in Cottingham, especially those built before 2000, contain non-licensed asbestos materials. Although lower risk than friable, licensed asbestos, these still require careful, professional handling to prevent fibre release. We specialise in the safe removal of various common items, including:

• Asbestos Cement Products: Often found on garage roofs, shed panels, drainage pipes, soffits, fascias, and water tanks. Our asbestos garage roof removal service is particularly sought after.
• Artex & Textured Coatings: Many decorative ceilings and walls contain asbestos. Our Artex removal process is meticulous, preparing surfaces for safe re-plastering.
• Asbestos Floor Tiles: Vinyl or thermoplastic floor tiles and the bitumen adhesive used to fix them often contain asbestos. We handle their careful removal, including the adhesive.
• Other Materials: This can include certain insulation boards, toilet cisterns, and some paper or felt products. If unsure about material, asbestos testing provides certainty.

Safety is paramount in all non-licensed asbestos removal work we undertake in Cottingham. Our expert property services team follows rigorous Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines to ensure a secure and compliant process from start to finish. The procedure typically involves:

1. Initial Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the asbestos-containing material, its condition, and the safest removal methodology. This may involve asbestos surveys or targeted sampling.
2. Containment & Preparation: Establishing a controlled work area to prevent the spread of asbestos fibres, including sheeting and warning signs.
3. Careful Removal: Using specialist tools and techniques to remove the asbestos material with minimal breakage and disturbance, dampening as necessary to suppress fibres.
4. Meticulous Clean-up: A thorough clean of the work area using H-type vacuum cleaners and wet-wiping techniques.
5. Compliant Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, labelled, and transported by licensed carriers to approved hazardous waste sites, with full waste consignment notes provided for legal compliance.
