Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Afterwards
If asbestos is found, we will explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear access to the area
- Tell us what work you are planning
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Test everything you’re worried about at once
Things not to do
Test before booking the builders, so there is no delay later.

Questions from Glyndebourne
Do you come out to small villages like Glyndebourne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What we deal with in Glyndebourne
Textured coatings, floor tiles, cement sheets and boards can all look the same with or without asbestos, so you cannot go by looks or age alone.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Something broken during building work
- Garage roofs before replacement
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Answers trades need before starting
Schools such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School should have an asbestos management plan, and staff can ask to see how it works.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether extra samples cost more
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
