What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Mapledurham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
