I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.

We need access to every area in the job.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Do you cover Worplesdon?

For landlords, agents and businesses

What else we do in Worplesdon
Doing it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Going forward:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
