How asbestos removal works in St George in the East
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. People often contact us about old cold water tanks and Artex before plastering, including floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In St George in the East, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
