Asbestos removal in Moorhouse Bank
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. Whether it’s old flues and asbestos found during building work, we deal with cement soffits, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In places like Moorhouse Bank, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
