ASBESTOS REMOVAL IN LANCASHIRE

When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, they can release fibres into the air. If inhaled, these fibres can cause serious long-term health issues. That’s why asbestos must be assessed and handled using controlled methods.

Yes. Where asbestos is identified before demolition, we can coordinate its safe removal as part of the wider project. Our team plans the necessary controls, removal works and compliant waste handling before the main demolition works proceed, helping ensure asbestos demolition is carried out safely and under controlled conditions.

We work with a range of asbestos-containing materials, including asbestos cement sheets and panels, floor tiles and adhesive residues, textured coatings, gaskets, rope seals and bitumen products. The appropriate removal method depends on the material, its condition and the requirements of the site.

Yes. Howard Stott Demolition is a licensed asbestos removal contractor, providing asbestos removal in Burnley and across Lancashire with trained teams and established procedures for managing asbestos works safely and in accordance with relevant requirements.

Asbestos can appear in many different products, from insulation boards and textured coatings to cement sheets and older floor tiles. Because it’s often mixed with other materials, you can’t identify it reliably by sight alone – testing is the safe route.

Don’t disturb the material. Keep people away, stop work, and arrange an asbestos survey or professional assessment. If you’re responsible for a commercial property, you also need to ensure asbestos isn’t disturbed and is properly managed.

Yes. Even small amounts can release fibres if handled incorrectly, so it’s still important to use trained professionals with the right controls and disposal paperwork.

Timescales vary based on the area, access, the type and condition of materials, and any enclosure and clearance testing needed. After a site visit or review of your survey, we can confirm a practical programme and keep you updated throughout.

All asbestos waste is securely packaged, transported, and taken to licensed hazardous waste facilities for compliant disposal. You’ll also receive the relevant documentation, including waste consignment records, for your files.
