Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Questions from Lower Stoke
Do you come out to small villages like Lower Stoke?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Lower Stoke have asbestos?
If your home in Lower Stoke was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
