Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
