Not all asbestos requires the same level of removal licensing, but all asbestos needs professional handling. Non-licensed asbestos refers to materials that, when disturbed, are less likely to release dangerous levels of fibres compared to high-risk 'licensed' materials. Common examples found in Hucknall properties include:

• Asbestos Cement: Often used in garage roofs, sheds, downpipes, guttering, and fascias.
• Textured Coatings (Artex): Frequently found on ceilings and walls in older homes.
• Floor Tiles: Vinyl or thermoplastic tiles and the associated bitumen adhesive.
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) panels: Sometimes used in smaller, non-friable applications.

Even though these are 'non-licensed', attempting removal yourself is extremely dangerous and ill-advised. Our experts are trained to identify, safely encapsulate or remove, and dispose of these materials, protecting residents and workers in Ashfield from fibre exposure.

1. Initial Assessment Sample: If suspect material exists, a trained surveyor safely collects a sample, promptly sending it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This confirms asbestos presence.
2. Detailed Quotation: Upon confirmation, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote outlining the scope of work, timescales, and costs.
3. Safe Removal Containment: Our team arrives equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and implements localised containment measures to prevent fibre spread. The material is carefully wetted, hand-removed, and immediately double-bagged.
4. Meticulous Clean-up: After removal, the area undergoes thorough HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping to capture any residual fibres.
5. Certified Waste Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely transported to licensed disposal facilities, with waste consignment notes provided for full legal traceability.
6. Site Clearance: We ensure the work area is left clean and safe, ready for reoccupation or follow-on trades.
