Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
