Asbestos removal near Marley
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, but it still needs the right controls. From materials found mid-project and debris left from a previous job, we cover floor tiles, flue pipes and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Marley can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Typical removal jobs in Marley
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Textured coatings

- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across Marley, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Marley, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
