You ask, we answer
Asbestos was commonly used in UK homes from the 1950s until it was fully banned in 1999. As a result, many properties still contain asbestos-containing materials today.
To help you better understand what this means for your home, we’ve put together answers to the most frequently asked questions, giving you clear and helpful information when you need it.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once used in building materials for insulation, fire resistance, and durability. All forms of asbestos have been fully banned in the UK since 1999, but it remains legal to have asbestos in existing buildings if it is in good condition and managed safely. As time goes on and more people choose to refurbish or update their homes and gardens, many homeowners decide they want to remove asbestos safely and securely.
Asbestos is mainly dangerous when fibres are released into the air and inhaled. The risk increases if materials are damaged, drilled, sanded, or removed incorrectly. For this reason, asbestos removal should always be carried out by a fully trained and qualified professional to ensure it is done safely and correctly.
Properties built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Homes from 1950-1985 are most likely to contain asbestos.
Garages built between the 1950s and late 1980s can often contain asbestos, such as corrugated roof sheets, wall panels, as well as fascia boards and soffits. Whether your garage contains asbestos or not, we offer safe and reliable removal for all types of garages – no job is too big or small for our team.
Removal is recommended if the garage is in poor condition or if you are planning to renovate your property. Many asbestos garages are also removed to refresh gardens, and customers often tell us what a significant difference it makes to the overall look and feel of their garden when their garage is removed.
You can’t tell just by looking whether a material contains asbestos. The only way to be sure is through laboratory testing of a sample. We offer a quick and easy asbestos testing service, with results typically available within 24-48 hours.
Receiving official documentation for asbestos disposal is essential, as it confirms that the work has been completed safely, legally, and in full compliance with industry standards. Unfortunately, in our 60 years of experience, we have seen many rogue tradespeople fail to handle asbestos correctly, putting customers health and the environment at serious risk.
Whenever asbestos work is carried out, you should always receive a hazardous waste consignment note. This document provides clear evidence that asbestos materials have been transported and disposed of correctly at a licensed facility. It is also important to check a company’s training, accreditations, and legitimate customer reviews to ensure you are choosing a competent and trustworthy provider.
At Jones Asbestos, hazardous waste consignment notes are provided as standard with every job. We are a local, family-run business with 60 years of experience in the asbestos industry, and we continually update our training to ensure all work is carried out in accordance with the latest regulations and best-practice procedures.
