- Plan any replacement work before the removal date

Don’ts

What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
