DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Fishbourne
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Old cold water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement flues and gutters
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For properties on main roads such as the B3331, we plan parking and loading in advance.
