Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once we’re done:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Doing it yourself?

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
