Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon

As a homeowner or business owner in Devon, you may be wondering if you need to notify the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) when removing asbestos from your property. The answer is not always straightforward, but we're here to help you understand the regulations and requirements.

Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. When asbestos is disturbed or removed, it can release fibres into the air, posing a risk to anyone nearby. That's why it's essential to follow strict guidelines and regulations when removing asbestos.

In the UK, asbestos removal is regulated by the HSE, and there are two types of asbestos removal: licensable and non-licensed. Licensable asbestos removal involves the removal of high-risk asbestos materials, such as asbestos insulation or asbestos coatings, and requires a licensed contractor. Non-licensed asbestos removal involves the removal of lower-risk materials, such as asbestos cement or asbestos-containing textured coatings.

You need to notify HSE if you're planning to remove licensable asbestos materials. This includes asbestos insulation, asbestos coatings, or any other high-risk materials. You'll need to provide HSE with a written notification at least 14 days before the removal work starts. However, if you're removing non-licensed asbestos materials, you don't need to notify HSE, but you still need to follow the guidelines and regulations.
