Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
