While homeowners in some areas may legally remove small amounts of non-friable (bonded) asbestos, it is not recommended due to the high health risks involved. Without proper training and equipment, handling asbestos can lead to fibre release, exposing yourself and others to potential harm. 

Additionally, improper disposal of asbestos is illegal and can result in heavy fines. For larger amounts or friable asbestos, only licensed professionals are legally allowed to handle the removal. It’s always safer to hire a trained expert to ensure the job is done correctly.

In most cases, it’s recommended to vacate the property during asbestos removal, especially if large areas are being treated. Professionals will seal off the work area to prevent fibres from spreading, but staying in the home may still pose a risk of exposure. 

Additionally, the removal process can be noisy and disruptive. Temporary relocation ensures the safety and comfort of occupants. Once the removal is complete, the area is thoroughly cleaned and air-tested to confirm it is safe for re-entry.
