- Where will the waste go, and will I get the consignment notes?
Rules and safety
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 apply to all non-domestic buildings. Before refurbishment work, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected is normally needed, and the work should not start until any asbestos found has been dealt with. Most work with higher-risk materials, such as sprayed coatings and insulating board, must be done by a contractor licensed by the HSE, and licensed work has to be notified to the HSE in advance.

Questions
Asbestos surveys and removal: common questions
Do I need a survey before a fit-out?
If the building was put up before 2000 and the work will disturb its fabric, yes. A refurbishment survey of the areas being worked on is the normal starting point.
How long does a survey take?
The site visit for a small unit can be done in a day. Lab results and the written report follow afterwards.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
No. Material in good condition that the work will not disturb can often be left in place and managed. Material in the way of the work must be dealt with first.
