It is crucial to understand that 'non-licensed' does not mean 'risk-free'. While these materials generally pose a lower risk of fibre release compared to licensed asbestos, they still contain dangerous asbestos fibres and must be handled by trained professionals. For residents and businesses in Leicester, common non-licensed asbestos materials often include:

• Asbestos Cement Products: Found in garage roofs, shed panels, drainage pipes, soffits, fascias, and guttering.
• Textured Coatings (Artex): Often present on ceilings and walls in properties built or refurbished before 2000.
• Vinyl Floor Tiles & Bitumen Adhesives: These can contain asbestos, especially in older installations.
• Asbestos Paper and Gaskets: Less common, but can be found in older appliances or pipework.

If you suspect any of these materials are present in your Leicester property, the safest course of action is to contact a professional for assessment and potential non-licensed asbestos removal.

At Asbestos In Homes, your safety is our utmost priority during any non-licensed asbestos removal project in Leicester. Our streamlined and compliant process ensures that all ACMs are handled responsibly from start to finish:

1. Initial Survey & Testing: We begin with a thorough inspection of your Leicester property. If suspected materials are identified, we safely collect samples for analysis at a UKAS-accredited laboratory. This confirms the presence and type of asbestos.
2. Safe Removal Strategy: Based on the lab results, we develop a detailed plan for the safe removal of the non-licensed ACMs. This includes establishing controlled work areas, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), and employing specialist tools.
3. Careful Removal: Our trained technicians meticulously remove the asbestos-containing materials, taking every precaution to minimise fibre release. We ensure the area is contained to prevent contamination.
4. Thorough Clean-Up: After removal, the work area undergoes a rigorous clean-up process, including specialised vacuuming, to remove any residual fibres.
5. Hazardous Waste Disposal: All removed asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, sealed, and transported to an authorised hazardous waste disposal facility. We provide you with waste consignment notes, offering full transparency and legal compliance for safe asbestos disposal.
