Asbestos removal

Asbestos is a building insulation material used before the 1970’s.
There are 3 types – white, blue and brown.
Removal of asbestos can disturb the fibres of which it is made; these fibres can be harmful if they are breathed in.
Use a facemask and gloves when handling asbestos.
Keep asbestos damp and contained in a plastic bag when transporting, this will reduce airborne fibres.
Some skip companies will safely remove asbestos, such as SkipHireUK.
Some councils will accept asbestos at their household waste recycling centres.
Contact your local council for further advice on the removal of asbestos.
