Non-licensed asbestos materials are typically considered lower risk than their licensable counterparts, but they still pose a significant health hazard if disturbed incorrectly. These materials often contain asbestos fibres encapsulated within a binding matrix, making them less likely to release fibres unless damaged or broken. In properties across Stamford, common examples we encounter include:

• Asbestos Cement: Found in corrugated garage roofs, shed panels, downpipes, fascias, and soffits.
• Textured Coatings: Such as Artex on ceilings and walls.
• Vinyl Floor Tiles: And the black bitumen adhesive often used beneath them.
• Toilet Cisterns and Guttering: Older installations sometimes contain asbestos.

Even though these materials are 'non-licensed', they demand professional handling. Attempting DIY removal can inadvertently release dangerous asbestos fibres into the air, posing serious health risks. Our experts are trained to identify these materials and implement safe removal strategies.

For residents and businesses in Stamford, our non-licensed asbestos removal process is designed for maximum safety and minimal disruption. We manage every step to ensure your property is clear of hazardous materials:

1. Initial Assessment & Sampling: If you suspect asbestos, we'll arrange a site visit to your Stamford property. We can take samples of suspect materials, which are then sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate analysis. You'll receive a formal certificate confirming the presence or absence of asbestos.
2. Tailored Removal Plan: Based on the assessment, we create a detailed plan outlining the safest method for removal, containment, and disposal of the specific ACMs found on your premises.
3. Safe Removal & Containment: Our fully trained technicians, equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), meticulously remove the asbestos. We use specialised techniques to minimise fibre release, often involving wetting the material and utilising local extraction where necessary.
4. Meticulous Clean-up: Once the material is removed, the work area undergoes a thorough clean, including specialist vacuuming, to ensure all debris and potential fibres are cleared.
5. Licensed Waste Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, sealed, and transported by licensed hazardous waste carriers to authorised disposal sites. You will receive all necessary waste consignment notes, confirming legal and responsible disposal.
