Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Questions from Seaton
Do you cover small places like Seaton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

We cover Seaton, about 57 miles from central London.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
