Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Once we are done:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
