Non-licensed and notifiable non-licensed asbestos work across Staffordshire and surrounding areas. Every job is assessed first, so the right method, controls and waste arrangements are in place before work starts.
Representative samples are taken from suspect materials and sent to a laboratory for analysis, so you know exactly what you are dealing with.
It is the sensible first step before drilling, renovating or removing anything you are unsure of.
Garage roofs, sheds, outbuildings, wall panels, cladding, gutters and downpipes. Some of the most common asbestos jobs in the UK.
Sheets are removed whole wherever possible, kept damp and handled carefully to keep breakage and fibre release to a minimum.
Controlled removal of suitable asbestos materials where the job falls within non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed (NNLW) requirements.
The area is segregated, suitable PPE and RPE are used, and dust is controlled throughout. Where a job is notifiable, the HSE is notified before work begins.
Artex-type decorative coatings on ceilings and walls, common in homes built before 2000.
The condition, area and removal method are assessed first so the work stays within non-licensed requirements and the room is left clean.
Thermoplastic and vinyl floor tiles containing asbestos, along with the black bitumen adhesive often found underneath.
Tiles are lifted with methods that keep breakage low, ready for the new floor to go down.
Removal is not always the best option. Suitable materials in reasonable condition can sometimes be sealed and left safely in place.
The right approach depends on the material, its condition, where it is and how the area will be used.
Ford Environmental is a licensed waste carrier, registration number CBDL595935. Asbestos 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, household bins or ordinary skips.

If it turns out to be licensed work, you will be told straight away so you can contact an HSE-licensed contractor.
Worth Knowing
Some asbestos work that does not need a licence still falls under Notifiable Non-Licensed Work (NNLW). That means the HSE must be notified before the job starts, records must be kept, and the people doing it need health surveillance.
The material, its condition and the task decide which category applies. That is why every job is assessed before it is quoted.
