DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
Choosing the right option
Air tests aren’t the same as material tests. Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be carried out by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

- Corrugated roof sheets
If you work at a school like Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

What it might be made of
Boards and panels

Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. Testing confirms whether it’s asbestos cement.
