Non-licensed asbestos refers to materials that, while still containing asbestos, are considered lower risk if handled correctly. These asbestos containing materials (ACMs) are typically non-friable, meaning the fibres are firmly bound within a matrix and are less likely to become airborne unless severely damaged. However, any disturbance can release dangerous fibres. Our team is expert in identifying these lower-risk asbestos types, which commonly include:

• Asbestos cement products: Found in corrugated garage roofs, sheds, downpipes, and soffits.
• Textured coatings (like Artex): Often present on ceilings and walls in older properties.
• Vinyl floor tiles and bitumen adhesives: Frequently used in flooring before the year 2000.
• Asbestos insulating board (AIB) fragments: Small, non-intrusive pieces that may be deemed non-licensed in specific scenarios.

Even though these are categorised as 'non-licensed', professional handling is crucial. Attempting removal yourself without proper training or equipment poses a significant health risk.

Our compliant removal process for non-licensed asbestos in Worksop is thorough and designed to ensure maximum safety. It begins with clear communication about what we'll be doing. From the initial asbestos testing and survey to the final safe asbestos disposal, every step adheres strictly to Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines. Our process typically includes:

1. Initial Survey & Testing: We conduct a comprehensive asbestos survey or take samples if you suspect specific materials. These are sent to UKAS-accredited laboratories for accurate analysis.
2. Method Statement: A detailed plan outlining the safe removal procedure, risk assessments, and control measures.
3. Containment: The work area is carefully prepared and, if necessary, isolated to prevent the spread of fibres.
4. Safe Removal: Our trained specialists use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools to carefully dismantle or remove the ACMs.
