Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Textured coatings
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
FAQs for W8
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
