Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Step by step
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In winter, the light goes in Coggins Mill by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
