Asbestos

[FoxInTheBirstallBox]

Does anyone have any experience removing or having a company in to remove asbestos.

 

The Mrs keeps being boring and won't let me do it myself

TBH it wouldn't bother me removing asbestos, if it was a one off they'll be no problems. However getting rid is the problem, it's not like you can chuck it in.the wheelie bin. You need to be registered and require permits etc. Pain in the backside really

Getting it out..any decent  contientious DIY er,with protection could do it !!  But it's the desposing,and the permits to dispose of.you won't save money!!

Plus any flytipping by a contractual  cowboy worker,could still find you resonsible....

So don't do it yourself...!! Call in a KNOWN reputable specialist...!!

I am on your Mrs side on this...!!  And you can cook yourself for the next 6 months of you ignore us...Restaurants and take-aways have been told not

to serve you,until specialist has been signed...

Do you know what sort of asbestos it is, for starters?

chuck it in next door neighbours wheelie bin?

Suggest ringing an ARCA approved company such as Phoenix Leicester, just across the river from the KP Stadium.

That's the tastiest asbestos

We flooded the area where it was and did it ourselves.  Got a friend who is in that line of business to safely take it away ...   that is the biggest problem if you DIY it.

In fairness being in the building trade 25+ years I've seen it all. Digging a big hole and burying it was standard at one time

Why would there be no problems if it's a one-off?

Was going to say this - depends what your asbestos is in? If it’s considered low-risk, you can remove the item as a whole (so say a stainless sink with an asbestos pad or a section of fascia), bag it and arrange for the council to take away. Can save some money that way.

It would be, you’d have to be bloody mental to touch it without training and safety equipment.

M&S?

[Crinklyfox]

Asbestosis is usually the result of prolonged exposure to asbestos dust.  But asbestos fibres are dangerous and can lodge in the lungs if inhaled, causing gradual damage that may only be problematic years later.

Cardiff Fox is right here, I think you can take it to whetstone tip as long as it is double bagged and labelled. If it is an asbestos cement product ie corrugated shed roof/soffit board or similar then you should be ok to do it yourself as fibre release is very low. If it is blue or brown asbestos then I’d get somebody in.

PM me if you want any advice (I don’t do removal btw before any others think I’m touting for work )

but what ever you do wear a FFP3 grade dust mask, you can get these cheap on amazon.

pshawww young people today, we used to hack it up with a tomahawk and then dispose of it by running it through a blender and spreading it on our kids school lunch.
