Trusted Asbestos Removal in Wakefield & Surrounding Areas

Yorkshire Asbestos Solutions provides professional asbestos removal in Wakefield for both domestic and commercial properties. As a fully HSE-licensed contractor based in West Yorkshire, we understand the local housing stock, the prevalence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in older Wakefield properties, and the strict regulatory requirements that govern safe removal.

Wakefield's older housing and industrial heritage means that asbestos is commonly found in properties built before 1990 — particularly in artex ceilings, floor tiles, garage roofs, and pipe lagging. Whether you're a homeowner planning a renovation, a landlord meeting your duty to manage obligations, or a business owner preparing for demolition works, we have the licence, the team, and the experience to handle it safely.

We serve the entire Wakefield district, including Castleford, Pontefract, Ossett, Normanton, Horbury, and Stanley. Call us for a free survey and no-obligation quote — we aim to respond to all enquiries within 2 hours.

⚠️ Safety Notice: If you suspect asbestos in your Wakefield property, do not disturb the material. Stop any works immediately and call our team on 0113 519 9653 for expert advice and a same-day response where needed.

Asbestos Removal Services in Wakefield

We offer the full range of asbestos services in Wakefield — from initial surveys to complete removal and licensed waste disposal. Every job is carried out to the highest safety standards by our qualified team.

Where Is Asbestos Commonly Found in Wakefield Properties?

Wakefield has a significant proportion of housing built during the post-war period through to the late 1980s — exactly the era when asbestos-containing materials were in widespread use across the construction industry. From terrace houses in Castleford to industrial units in Pontefract, ACMs are a common find in the district.

The most frequently encountered materials in Wakefield asbestos surveys include:

  • Asbestos cement garage and outbuilding roofs — extremely common across the district
  • Artex and textured ceiling coatings applied pre-1985
  • Floor tiles and adhesive backing in kitchens and hallways
  • Pipe lagging on boilers, hot water cylinders, and central heating pipes
  • Asbestos insulation board (AIB) in partition walls, ceiling tiles, and soffits
  • Roof felts and guttering on older commercial and industrial premises
  • Fireplace surrounds and hearth panels in pre-1980s homes

Yes — Wakefield has a large proportion of housing built between the 1940s and 1980s, and many commercial and industrial premises dating from the same period. This means asbestos-containing materials are very commonly found in the district. Common locations include garage roofs, artex ceilings, floor tiles, pipe lagging, and insulation boards. If your property was built before 1990, there's a real chance ACMs are present — particularly if it hasn't been surveyed before.

After every job we provide: a clearance certificate confirming that the area has passed air testing and is safe to reoccupy; a waste transfer note showing compliant disposal of all asbestos waste at a licensed facility; and copies of any risk assessments and the written plan of work. These documents are important to keep — they may be requested if you sell the property or carry out future renovation works.
