DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Hogben's Hill questions
How far is Hogben's Hill from London?
Hogben's Hill is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Hogben's Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Hogben's Hill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
