Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
