How asbestos removal works in Furnace Wood
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and cement water tanks in lofts, involving textured coatings, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Furnace Wood, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Materials, one by one

Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
