DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

FAQs for Crawley Down
How far is Crawley Down from London?
Crawley Down is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
