Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Questions from Bowsey Hill
Do you cover small places like Bowsey Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Bowsey Hill typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bowsey Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
