Non-Licensed & Notifiable Non-Licensed Works in Liverpool & the North West
Atlas Asbestos provides professional non-licensed asbestos removal services across Liverpool and the North West of England. We specialise exclusively in Non-Licensed Works (NLW) and Notifiable Non-Licensed Works (NNLW), helping property owners, landlords, and businesses remove lower-risk asbestos-containing materials safely and in full compliance with UK regulations.
All asbestos removal work is carried out by trained professionals following strict safety procedures and current HSE guidance.
What Is Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal?
Not all asbestos removal requires a licensed contractor. Non-Licensed Works apply to lower-risk asbestos materials that are less likely to release fibres when handled correctly.
Typical examples include:
- Asbestos cement sheets and panels
- Garage roofs and outbuildings
- Corrugated roofing
- Soffits, gutters, and downpipes
- Certain asbestos floor tiles and adhesives
Although these materials are considered lower risk, incorrect handling can still be dangerous and illegal.
Notifiable Non-Licensed Works (NNLW)
Some non-licensed asbestos removal tasks must be notified to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) before work begins. These are classed as Notifiable Non-Licensed Works (NNLW) and may apply when:
- The asbestos material is damaged or degraded
- The work is more extensive
- There is an increased likelihood of fibre release
NNLW requires additional controls, including notification, record-keeping, and medical surveillance for workers.
What We Don’t Do
Atlas Asbestos does not undertake licensed asbestos removal works. Higher-risk materials such as:
- Asbestos insulation board (AIB)
- Pipe lagging
- Loose fill insulation
require licensed asbestos contractors. Where licensed removal is needed, we provide clear advice to help you take the correct next steps.

- Initial Assessment – Review of materials and risk level
- Survey & Testing (if required) – Confirmation of asbestos type

- Safe Removal – Controlled removal using approved techniques
- Waste Disposal – Transport to licensed disposal facilities
