Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Questions from West Cliffe

Yes, we cover West Cliffe and the area towards Martin Mill station, about 1.2 miles north.
Do you cover small places like West Cliffe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
