Asbestos in Lichfield
Lichfield is a Staffordshire cathedral city with a Georgian and medieval core, Victorian terraces and post-war and modern estates around the edges. Its older homes, former industrial and railway buildings, and mid-century housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement garages and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Lichfield properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.

Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Lichfield: FAQs
Is asbestos likely in a period Lichfield home?
In its 20th-century alterations, yes — artex, AIB, old floor tiles and cement garages are common in Lichfield's pre-2000 housing. A survey before refurbishment identifies them before they are disturbed.
How quickly can you test a sample from Lichfield?
Standard UKAS-accredited results are usually back within 24 hours, with same-day analysis for urgent jobs. Single samples are typically £50 to £80 and a home survey starts from around £200.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
