Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
