Non-licensed asbestos refers to materials that pose a lower risk of fibre release compared to more friable, licensed asbestos. While considered lower risk, these materials still contain hazardous asbestos fibres and require professional handling for safe removal and disposal. Common non-licensed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) frequently found in Uppingham properties include:

• Asbestos Cement Products: Typically seen in corrugated garage roofs, sheds, downpipes, soffits, and fascias. These are rigid and less likely to release fibres unless damaged.
• Textured Coatings (Artex): Often found on ceilings and walls in properties built or renovated before 2000.
• Vinyl Floor Tiles: And the bitumen adhesive used to fix them.
• Certain Gaskets or Sealing Compounds: In older appliances or plumbing.

Even though these are 'non-licensed', attempting DIY removal is incredibly dangerous and ill-advised. Our team possesses the correct training, personal protective equipment (PPE), and containment procedures to ensure no harmful fibres are released into your environment during removal.
