What is licensable asbestos?
We are a licensed asbestos removal company, which means we are able to work on licensable asbestos removal projects.
Licensable asbestos removal work is the most dangerous type of asbestos removal work (more can be read about licensable work with asbestos here) and the reasons for this -
- High exposure to asbestos fibres for those removing it.
- Is asbestos insulation board or asbestos insulation.
- Involves an asbestos coating.
- Is not short duration work.
This isn't the only type of asbestos though. When carrying out asbestos surveys, we regularly come across asbestos in places like -
- Wallboards
- Ceiling and floor tiles
- Artex, which is a type of decorative plaster
- Wall cladding
- Downpipes and gutters
- Lagging, which is used as insulation
The above isn't a comprehensive list though (the HSE has a visual showing more locations for asbestos), but does highlight how wide spread it can be across a property.
