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.
