Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
