At No.1 Asbestos Go, we specialise solely in the removal, disposal, and management of unlicensed asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). With full compliance to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, we provide a professional, efficient, and cost-effective solution for handling lower-risk asbestos — without the additional requirements of licensed work.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, property developer or commercial client, if you suspect asbestos on your property, our trained team is here to help.
Take a look at some of the projects we’ve successfully completed for our clients.
Asbestos-containing materials fall into two categories under UK law: licensed and unlicensed.
We deal exclusively with unlicensed asbestos removal, which includes materials that pose lower risks during removal due to their level of degradation and likelihood of fibre release. These jobs can be carried out by competent and properly trained teams without the need for a licensed asbestos contractor.
Common unlicensed ACMs include:
Asbestos Cement – garage roofs, corrugated panels, pipes, flues, and water tanks
Textured Coatings (Artex) – often found on ceilings and walls in pre-1990s homes
Vinyl Floor Tiles & Bitumen Adhesive – common in kitchens, hallways, and older office spaces
Asbestos Soffits & Panels – especially on outbuildings and older domestic properties
Roof Sheets and Cladding – often found on sheds, barns, and garages
We do not carry out licensed asbestos removal involving sprayed insulation, pipe lagging, insulation board, or any materials considered high risk by the HSE.
Quick, clean and professional from start to finish.”
We discovered asbestos cement sheets in our old garage roof while planning a renovation. No.1 Asbestos Go gave us a fixed quote, turned up on time, and had the whole thing safely removed and cleared in a few hours. We got all the paperwork including the RAMS and waste consignment note. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Reliable, compliant and great to deal with on site.”
As a small building company, we need subcontractors we can trust to work safely and keep jobs on schedule. No.1 Asbestos Go has handled several projects for us now — removing Artex ceilings, asbestos panels, and cement roofs. They always provide RAMS in advance and follow all HSE guidance. Highly recommended for any unlicensed asbestos work.

Professional service with clear documentation throughout.”
We manage several rental properties across London and Kent and often need asbestos identified and removed before new tenants move in. No.1 Asbestos Go always responds quickly, communicates clearly, and provides full documentation for our compliance records. Excellent service and very easy to work with.

A:
Licensed asbestos includes high-risk materials like asbestos insulation board (AIB), sprayed coatings, and pipe lagging. These require a licensed contractor, strict controls, and HSE oversight.
Unlicensed asbestos, which we specialise in, includes lower-risk materials such as:
Asbestos cement (e.g. garage roofs, pipes)
Artex and textured coatings
Floor tiles and adhesives
Soffits and external panels
We are fully trained and insured to remove unlicensed asbestos materials safely and legally.
A: No — asbestos cement falls under unlicensed work. If it’s in good condition and handled by trained professionals using correct procedures, it does not require a licensed asbestos contractor. That’s exactly what we do at No.1 Asbestos Go.
