Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Beacon Hill questions
Do you cover small places like Beacon Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Beacon Hill have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Beacon Hill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What happens if the test is positive?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How long do test results take?
Timing depends on the lab. We will tell you the expected timing when we quote.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the results with your property records, for future work or a sale.
Keeping things safe:
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Not sure between a test and a survey? Ask
- Do not touch it before we arrive
Things not to do
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Please don’t take your own sample.
