DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Bromley Common questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Bromley Common homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bromley Common may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
