Asbestos pipe removal

[ShaneH 10]

Hello

 

The builder we bought our terraced house from last year has dumped some old pipework from the house into the old outside toilet.

 

A neighbour has advised me that they contain asbestos

 

I am looking for advice on removal if anyone would be so kind?

 

Thanks

Double bag it and take it to council tip .... Ring first to make sure the container is not full .... Fill in some paperwork, job done...

As Mark says, as a private householder you can take it to the tip.

It may be worth a call to Violia first.

does anyone want the job?

 

I estimate 4 or 5 pipes around 8 ft long crammed into an outside toilet with some other bits of rubbish

 

I am relucatant to touch anything and wondered if someone could come out and look and maybe give me a price?

 

Please send me a PM with your number and I will call you back.

 

I need it doing before the weekend.

 

cheers

Shane

Asbestos is really expensive for a trade to dispose of.

Buy some bags, gloves and a mask. It'll take you maybe an hour to do but it'll save you £100's.

Or take a hack saw to it and chop them in half. We had 2x 8 foot pipes left in our garden when we moved. Buy some bags and gaffer tape, double bag and take to one of the Veolia recycling centres.

have you got roof bars? if so, wrap the pipes in pvc sheeting (wickes/b+q), duct tape up and carry on roof bars to tip. avoid cutting if at all possible. thats what i did with an old garage roof.

I would also 1st read the free HSE leaflet on its identification and removal before I did anything and perhaps contact my solicitor with whom I bought the property it shouldn't really have been left there!

 

Any contractor who removes it will have to be licensed, if they are not and it is fly tipped and you get found out the fine will also be yours to pay!

not one firm has come forward for this job.

 

looks like i will need to look at it myself like others have mentioned

 

cheers for the advice all
