Even though certain asbestos materials are classified as 'non-licensed', it's crucial to understand they still pose health risks if disturbed incorrectly. These materials are generally less friable (meaning they don't easily release fibres into the air) than their licensed counterparts, but professional handling is always essential. We commonly remove non-licensed ACMs from properties across Wombwell, including:

• Asbestos Cement Products: Often found in garage roofs, shed panels, drainage pipes, soffits, fascias, and water tanks. These are dense materials where fibres are tightly bound within the cement matrix.
• Artex and Textured Coatings: Popular in ceilings and walls before the year 2000, these coatings can contain chrysotile (white asbestos) fibres.
• Certain Floor and Ceiling Tiles: Vinyl, thermoplastic, or linoleum floor tiles, as well as some ceiling tiles, can contain asbestos, often alongside bitumen adhesive.

Our team ensures precise asbestos testing through UKAS-accredited laboratories to confirm the presence and type of asbestos, allowing us to implement the most appropriate and safest removal strategy for your Wombwell property.

While non-licensed asbestos may be considered lower risk, attempting to remove it yourself without proper training, equipment, and containment procedures can inadvertently release dangerous asbestos fibres. This poses a serious health risk to you, your family, or your employees. For residents and businesses in Wombwell, engaging a professional service like Asbestos In Homes is the safest and most legally compliant approach.
