A closer look at the materials

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens next
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
