How asbestos removal works in Gosford
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. From old sheds and coal bunkers and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings and more.
In Gosford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Why people call us in Gosford
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Floor tiles before a new floor

For non-domestic buildings like Edward Feild Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Common questions in Gosford
Do you come out to small villages like Gosford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Gosford from London?
We cover Gosford, about 55 miles from central London.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
