DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

What happens next
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Common questions in Hawley
How far is Hawley from London?
Hawley is about 15 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Hawley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hawley may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
