DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How much sampling is needed
- The type of survey you need
- The size of the job
The cost of asbestos testing depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

For businesses and landlords in Hart Plain
If you run a business from older premises in Hart Plain, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so bigger work needs a survey
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Panels behind heaters
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Pipe lagging
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
What it might be made of
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. Testing identifies them.
Flues and tanks
A test before removal is a good idea.
Hart Plain: your questions answered
Do you cover Hart Plain and the area around Rowlands Castle station?
Yes. Rowlands Castle station is about 3.1 miles east of Hart Plain, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Hart Plain have asbestos?
Any home in Hart Plain built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Hart Plain?
Yes. We cover Hart Plain and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Weighing up your options
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs typically just need a test. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Records for your files
- Condition assessed for every material
