DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
