DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
