Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
