DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Where we could park
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
