Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal

Certain asbestos work can be carried out without an HSE licence because the risk of fibre release is lower. To qualify, the work must be sporadic and of low intensity, with exposure less than 0.6 fibres per cubic centimetre of air over a 10‑minute period and not exceed 0.1 fibres per cubic centimetre averaged over a 4‑hour period. Examples include removing asbestos cement sheets, drilling small holes in textured coatings or encapsulating asbestos.

Even without a licence, non-licensed work still requires trained personnel, proper risk assessment and safe working procedures. Our team is fully trained to carry out these tasks and will advise whether your project falls under licensed or non-licensed requirements.

Examples of Non-Licensed Work

• Removing asbestos cement roofing and guttering in good condition
• Drilling or cutting small holes in textured coatings
• Encapsulating asbestos‑containing materials with sealant
• Cleaning up small pieces of asbestos debris
• Air monitoring and sampling tasks
