DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- An overall view
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
A few practical points:
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
