What exactly falls under 'non-licensed' asbestos? These are materials where the asbestos fibres are tightly bound within a matrix, making fibre release less likely if undisturbed. However, disturbance during renovation, repair, or demolition can still release dangerous fibres. Common examples we safely remove in Shepshed include:

• Asbestos Cement Products: This is perhaps the most common, found in garage roofs, shed panels, fascias, soffits, downpipes, and water tanks.
• Artex Textured Coatings: Often used on ceilings and walls, Artex frequently contains chrysotile (white) asbestos.
• Vinyl Floor Tiles: And the bitumen adhesive used to fix them, often found in older kitchens and bathrooms.
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) with low fibre release potential: Some AIB, if assessed as lower risk, can be non-licensed, though much AIB requires licensed removal.
• Certain Gaskets and Sealants: Found in older plumbing or heating systems.

It is impossible to tell if a material contains asbestos simply by looking. If you suspect any of these materials are present in your Shepshed property, professional asbestos testing is the first essential step.

While non-licensed asbestos might seem less threatening, attempting DIY removal carries significant risks. Disturbing asbestos without the correct personal protective equipment, specialist tools, and containment procedures can release harmful fibres into the air, endangering occupants.
