Some practical advice:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
