Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
A test or a full survey? Testing checks the materials you are worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs usually just need a test. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Do you come out to small villages like Bolter End?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Does someone need to be there?

HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples. If you are unsure, ask us to take it.
