Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Helpful guides
Halfway Street: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Halfway Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Halfway Street have asbestos?
If your home in Halfway Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Choosing the right option
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work.
