Safe, compliant removal of lower-risk asbestos materials by qualified specialists
Non-Licensed Work (NLW) refers to lower-risk asbestos removal activities that can be carried out without an HSE asbestos license. However, this work still requires specific training, proper equipment, and strict adherence to health and safety protocols.
Our team specializes in the safe, compliant removal of non-licensed asbestos materials, providing you with a cost-effective solution while ensuring all regulatory requirements are met and health risks are minimized.
Our specialists are equipped to safely remove a wide range of non-licensed asbestos-containing materials
Removal of asbestos cement materials which contain around 10-15% asbestos bound in a cement matrix.
Safe removal of asbestos-containing floor materials that typically contain chrysotile (white) asbestos.
Expert removal of decorative coatings containing small amounts of asbestos, commonly found on ceilings and walls.
We follow a comprehensive, safety-focused approach to all non-licensed asbestos removal work
We evaluate the materials to be removed, property layout, and risks to develop a comprehensive removal plan.
We prepare the work area by establishing containment zones, setting up negative pressure units, and implementing access restrictions.
Our technicians use specialized tools and techniques to safely remove asbestos materials, minimizing fiber release.
All asbestos waste is double-bagged, sealed, and labeled before being transported to licensed disposal facilities.
The area is thoroughly cleaned and, if required, air testing is conducted to verify that the space is safe for normal use.
While non-licensed work involves lower-risk asbestos materials, we never compromise on safety or compliance. Our services adhere to all relevant regulations, including:
All NLW removal work is notified to the HSE when required, and our technicians maintain detailed records throughout the process. You'll receive comprehensive documentation upon project completion, providing evidence of compliant removal and disposal.
Note: Some non-licensed work is categorized as Notifiable Non-Licensed Work (NNLW), which has additional requirements including medical surveillance and project registration. We'll advise you if your project falls under NNLW regulations.
Common questions about our non-licensed asbestos removal services
Non-licensed work typically involves materials where asbestos fibers are firmly bound in a matrix (like cement), work is of short duration, and exposure is sporadic and low intensity. We can assess your specific materials and advise accordingly. When in doubt, we recommend professional testing to confirm.
The duration depends on the quantity and location of the materials. Small projects like removing a garage roof might take 1-2 days, while more extensive work could take longer. We'll provide a specific timeframe after assessing your property.
For most non-licensed work, complete evacuation isn't necessary, but we recommend restricting access to the immediate work area. We'll establish containment zones to prevent fiber spread to other areas. For specific scenarios, we'll advise on whether temporary relocation is recommended.
You'll receive comprehensive documentation including waste consignment notes (proving legal disposal), a completion certificate, photographic evidence of the work, and if relevant, air testing certificates. These documents are important for property records and may be required when selling your property.
While legally possible, we strongly advise against DIY asbestos removal. Without proper training, equipment, and disposal arrangements, you risk exposure to harmful fibers and potential legal issues with improper waste handling. Professional removal ensures safety and compliance with all regulations.
