Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Folly Town questions
Could my house in Folly Town contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Folly Town from London?
Folly Town is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
What we deal with in Folly Town
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
Common situations in older properties include:

Duty holders and landlords in Folly Town
If you run a business from older premises in Folly Town, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials

- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
