What is licensable asbestos?
Licensable asbestos is asbestos removal work where a licensed contractor is required to remove and transport the asbestos for safe disposal.
The HSE states that-
The Control of Asbestos Regulations define licensable work as follows:
where the exposure of workers to asbestos is not sporadic and of low intensity
the risk assessment cannot clearly demonstrate that the control limit will not be exceeded
work on asbestos coating
work on asbestos insulating board or asbestos insulation for which the risk assessment demonstrates it is not short duration work, for example:
- it will take no more than 2 hours in any 7-day period, and no person works for more than 1 hour in that 2-hour period
it will take no more than 2 hours in any 7-day period, and no person works for more than 1 hour in that 2-hour period
Examples of where licensable asbestos could be found in your property is -
Loose fill insulation
Asbestos insulation board, which is also referred to as AIB
Sprayed on coatings
Pipe lagging, which can also be found around boilers

We also always recommend that any kind of asbestos removal work is carried out by an asbestos removal company, due to the dangers that exposure to asbestos can cause. More about this can be read on the NHS website.
