Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
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.

Seaview questions
Do you cover Seaview and the area around Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, we cover Seaview and the area towards Smallbrook Junction station, about 2 miles west.
Are garage roofs in Seaview usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
