Asbestos Removal can only be done by licenced contractors. Only businesses holding a licence to work with (either repair or removal of) asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), or those supervising such operations, and those with an ancillary licence, can dispose of Asbestos.

However, you may find the follow link for the HSE useful - hse.gov.uk/asbestos/essentials/

Just to qualify Shirley's response. The disposal must be by Licensed Waste Carrier. The question of removal will be dependent on the type and quantity of ACM. The ACM will normally be sealed or wrapped for transport, then taken to either a waste transfer station licensed to take ACMs or direct to a Waste tip licensed for Asbestos.
