Non-licensed asbestos materials are typically 'cement bonded' or otherwise stable, meaning they are less likely to release dangerous fibres unless disturbed. However, it is crucial to understand that even these lower-risk materials still require professional handling. Common examples frequently found in Horncastle properties include:

• Asbestos cement garage roofs: Often corrugated sheets on sheds, garages, or outbuildings.
• Asbestos cement panels: Used for soffits, fascias, rainwater goods, and even some external cladding.
• Artex and other textured coatings: Historically popular for ceilings and walls, many contain asbestos fibres.
• Asbestos floor tiles: Vinyl or thermoplastic tiles, often with bitumen adhesive, found in older kitchens, bathrooms, or commercial spaces.

While considered lower risk, these materials can become hazardous if drilled, cut, sanded, or broken, potentially releasing harmful asbestos fibres. That's why professional non-licensed asbestos removal is always recommended.

Attempting to remove asbestos, even non-licensed types, without the correct training, equipment, and containment procedures poses significant health risks. Inhaling asbestos fibres can lead to serious lung diseases years later.
