Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Udimore: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Udimore?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Udimore contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
