Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Book the replacement before removal
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
