DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.

A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets away on the day

FAQs for Burstow
Is asbestos common in Burstow homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Burstow can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes. Gatwick Airport station is about 1.3 miles west of Burstow, and we cover both.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
