02 What We Do
Know What You Need.
Before Anyone Starts.
UK law splits asbestos work into three categories. Which one your job falls into depends on the material, its condition and the work involved. Here is where Ford Environmental fits.
We do this
Non-Licensed Work
Lower-risk materials in suitable condition, such as asbestos cement sheets, garage roofs, textured coatings and floor tiles.
- Assessed and planned before work
- Controlled methods and suitable PPE
- Waste sealed and disposed of properly
We do this
Notifiable Non-Licensed (NNLW)
Non-licensed work where the material is more likely to release fibres. It must be notified to the HSE before work begins.
- HSE notification before starting
- Records kept for every job
- Health surveillance in place
Licensed contractor
Licensed Work
Higher-risk materials such as sprayed coatings, pipe lagging and most asbestos insulation board need an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Not work we take on
- You will be told straight away
- No wasted visits or surprises
Not sure which category you are in? That is normal. Send a description and a few photos and it will be assessed before anything is quoted.

07 FAQ
Common
Questions.
Can't see your question? Send it over in the form below.
What is non-licensed asbestos work?
Lower-risk asbestos work that does not need an HSE asbestos licence, such as removing asbestos cement sheets or textured coatings in suitable condition. It still has to be planned, controlled and carried out by trained people.
What is Notifiable Non-Licensed Work (NNLW)?
Some non-licensed work must be notified to the HSE before it starts, with records kept and health checks in place. Whether a job is notifiable depends on the material, its condition and the work being done.
What if my job needs a licensed contractor?
Work such as removing sprayed coatings, pipe lagging or most asbestos insulation board needs an HSE-licensed contractor. If your job falls into that category, you will be told straight away rather than have it taken on.
Can you tell if it's asbestos just by looking?
Not reliably. Many asbestos materials look identical to asbestos-free ones. The only way to be sure is sampling and laboratory analysis, which Ford Environmental can arrange.
Do you remove asbestos garage roofs?
Yes. Asbestos cement garage roofs, sheds and outbuildings are some of the most common jobs. Sheets are removed whole wherever possible to keep fibre release to a minimum.
What happens to the asbestos waste?
Ford Environmental is a licensed waste carrier (registration CBDL595935). Waste is wrapped and sealed, then placed in a dedicated asbestos skip on site. The skip is collected and taken to a facility authorised to receive asbestos waste. It never goes in general waste.
Are you insured?
Yes. Ford Environmental carries £5 million insurance cover.
Which areas do you cover?
Ford Environmental is based in Staffordshire and covers Staffordshire and the surrounding areas. If you are further afield, get in touch and ask.
