How asbestos removal works in East Wellow
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and materials found mid-project.
In East Wellow, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in East Wellow
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you run a business from older premises in East Wellow, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Clear written quotes
- No removal until we know what it is
Take a look at how we price jobs or our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Typical removal jobs in East Wellow
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
- Old flues
In older properties in East Wellow, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
The scope of asbestos removal
The usual limits are:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
