DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Materials found mid-project
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Textured coatings
In older buildings across Chackmore, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- How much there is
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
