I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.

Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What else we do in Quainton
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
The scope of asbestos removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Where asbestos turns up

- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older buildings across Quainton, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
