DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

- Demolition projects

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
