- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
