Top tips
Hiring a asbestos services, without the regret.
Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.
Licensed for high-risk asbestos only.
Sprayed coatings, lagging, AIB — these need HSE-licensed removal. Cement and floor tiles can be done by non-licensed firms. Don't pay licensed rates for non-licensed work.
Insist on the air-test.
After licensed removal, a UKAS-accredited air test confirms clearance. Without this certificate, you cannot re-occupy the area.
Survey before any demolition.
Refurbishment / demolition survey is legally required before any building work in pre-2000 properties. Skip it and you face HSE prosecution.
Don't disturb — manage in place.
Asbestos in good condition is safer left alone with a management plan than removed. Anyone pushing immediate removal of intact cement might be overselling.
