Can I remove asbestos myself?

No, DIY asbestos removal is highly dangerous. Inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to serious health conditions, including asbestosis and mesothelioma. Always use a professional asbestos removal company like Yes Waste to ensure safe and compliant disposal.

Do I need an asbestos survey before removal?

Before hiring any contractor, ensure they provide a Risk Assessment & Method Statement (RAMS) before starting work. If you suspect asbestos but are unsure, an asbestos survey can confirm its presence. However, for known asbestos materials (e.g. cement roofing, AIB panels), a survey may not be required before removal.

How much does asbestos removal cost?
