Planned removal of suitable lower-risk asbestos materials.
Not every asbestos-removal task falls within licensed work, but every task still needs to be assessed, planned and controlled correctly.
D J Hintons supports suitable non-licensed asbestos work across domestic, commercial and industrial properties. We review the material, condition, task and site circumstances before confirming the appropriate work category and controls.
Suitable projects are assessed individually
Some work involving lower-risk asbestos-containing materials can be non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work depending on the task and circumstances. Examples can include certain asbestos cement products and other firmly bound materials, but the work category should never be assumed from the product name alone.
Task assessment
We review the material, condition, proposed method, duration and site circumstances before work begins.
Proportionate controls
Work methods and controls are selected to suit the specific task and reduce fibre release and spread.
Careful removal
Experienced operatives carry out the removal while controlling breakage, dust and contamination.
Waste handling
Removed asbestos waste is packaged, transported and disposed of using appropriate arrangements.
From survey information to removal
If a survey has already identified the asbestos-containing material, send the report with photographs and the planned scope. We can review whether non-licensed work is appropriate or whether a different route is required.

Because Hintons also undertakes licensed asbestos removal, we can review a wider range of project requirements rather than treating every enquiry as the same type of work.

Does non-licensed mean the work is low risk?
It does not mean asbestos work is risk-free. The task still needs an appropriate assessment, method and controls, and some work can fall into notifiable non-licensed work.
Can you remove asbestos cement?
We can review asbestos cement and other suitable materials for non-licensed removal. The exact work category depends on the material, condition and proposed task.
Can you help if I am unsure what material I have?
Yes. Send the available survey information and photographs. Where identification is uncertain, an appropriate asbestos survey or sampling route may be needed before work is planned.
