DIY and asbestos

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Questions from Penhurst
Is asbestos common in Penhurst homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Penhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Penhurst?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
After we have finished in Penhurst
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- Travel and parking
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
- Labels, if any
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we’ll reply with a quote.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
