Non-licensed asbestos refers to materials that contain asbestos fibres but are considered lower risk due to their matrix or form, meaning they are less likely to release fibres unless severely disturbed. However, it's crucial not to underestimate the hazard; improper handling significantly increases the risk.

Common non-licensed asbestos materials found in homes and commercial properties throughout Hemsworth include:

• Asbestos Cement Products: Often seen in garage roofs, shed panels, fascias, soffits, guttering, and water pipes.
• Textured Coatings (Artex): Frequently found on ceilings and walls, especially in older homes.
• Vinyl Floor Tiles & Bitumen Adhesives: Used in many properties built before the year 2000.
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB): Some types of AIB are considered non-licensed if they are of low density and have low friability, though many AIB applications require a license.

If you suspect any of these materials in your Hemsworth property, please do not disturb them. Contact our professional team for advice or an assessment.

Attempting DIY removal of any asbestos material, even non-licensed types, is highly dangerous and not recommended.
