Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
