Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it costs

- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
