DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Domestic and commercial work
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Deal questions
Do you cover Deal from London?
We cover Deal, about 67 miles from central London.
Do you work near Deal station?
Yes. Deal station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Deal, and we cover both.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Do you work in Deal?
Yes, we do: Deal is within the area we cover in Kent. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
