Domestic asbestos removal in Yorkshire
Safe asbestos removal for homes across East and North Yorkshire
If your home was built before 2000, there is a strong chance its construction involved some asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These were widely used in residential construction, particularly in garages, sheds, roofing materials, ceilings and flooring.
While asbestos is generally safe when left undisturbed, problems can arise during home renovations, repairs or as materials naturally age and deteriorate. When this happens, asbestos fibres can be released into the air, creating a potential health risk.
At Othick Property Services, we provide safe, reliable non-licensed domestic asbestos removal services for homeowners across Yorkshire. From garage roofs and outbuildings to ceilings, floor tiles and external fittings, we remove a wide range of lower-risk asbestos materials safely and efficiently.
We can also carry out any necessary reinstatement work afterwards, including new roofing, cladding or repairs, so your home is left fully restored.
Have you had an asbestos survey?
Before any asbestos removal work takes place, it’s important to establish whether asbestos is present in your home and assess its condition. If you suspect asbestos within your property, we can arrange an asbestos inspection to help identify the materials involved and determine the safest course of action.
Do you think your home contains asbestos?
Many homeowners are unaware asbestos may be present until they begin renovation or maintenance work.
If your property was built before 2000, we recommend arranging an asbestos inspection before any work is carried out. This helps identify any asbestos-containing materials and ensures they can be managed or removed safely.
We can help arrange inspections and provide clear advice on the safest next steps.
When is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos was commonly used in a range of household building materials, particularly in older homes and outbuildings. Typical locations include:
- Garage roofs
- Sheds and outbuildings
- Soffits and fascias
- Textured ceilings (such as Artex)
- Floor tiles and adhesives
- Guttering and downpipes
- External cladding panels
If you’re unsure whether a material contains asbestos, it is always best to seek professional advice before disturbing it. Find out more about the dangers of asbestos in our blog.
When should asbestos be removed from a home?
Asbestos does not always need to be removed immediately. In some cases, it can be safely left in place if it is in good condition and unlikely to be disturbed.
Removal is typically recommended when:
- The material is damaged or deteriorating
- You are planning renovations or building work
- The asbestos is in a high-traffic or exposed area
- Replacement of the material is more practical than repair
We can assess the condition of any suspected asbestos and advise on the safest approach. Read our blog to find out why you should almost never remove asbestos yourself.

Reinstatement work
We can replace roofing, ceilings, cladding or other materials removed during the project.
Garage roof asbestos removal and replacement
One of the most common domestic asbestos jobs we carry out is garage roof removal.

This provides a complete removal and replacement service without the need for multiple contractors.

Our recent work
Read the full case study“What a fantastic company — I genuinely couldn’t recommend them more highly.
I recently acquired an old outbuilding/barn next to my property that had definitely seen better days, and I was looking for a company that could help with several structural issues, replace the old asbestos roof and completely renovate the frontage. Having dealt with many contractors over the years, I knew as soon as I met Jason that he was the right person for the job.
Jason is a great guy and has built a brilliant team around him. Salty and Martin genuinely cared about doing a quality job, and their workmanship throughout was excellent. What also stood out was that Jason always tried to find practical ways to keep the project affordable without compromising on quality.
We are absolutely delighted with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Othick Property Services to anyone.”
