It is crucial to correctly identify materials containing asbestos before any work begins. Non-licensed asbestos typically refers to materials where the fibres are tightly bound within a matrix, making them less likely to release fibres if undisturbed. However, disturbance during renovation, repair, or demolition can pose a significant health risk. Common non-licensed materials we safely remove from properties in Pontefract include:

• Asbestos Cement: Found in garage roofs, shed panels, drainage pipes, soffits, fascias, and guttering.
• Textured Coatings (Artex): Often present on ceilings and walls, requiring careful assessment and removal.
• Vinyl Floor Tiles: And the bitumen adhesive used to fix them, particularly in older kitchens and bathrooms.
• Asbestos Paper: Sometimes found as backing for linoleum or within old fuse boxes.

Never attempt to remove these materials yourself. Our trained specialists possess the expertise and equipment to handle these safely and compliantly.
