DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we price asbestos testing
Quotes vary because of:
- How big the building is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Access to the area
- How much there is
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a picture
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Panels behind heaters
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Floor tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Bitumen adhesive
- Garage roof sheets
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Soffit boards
Middleton Stoney questions
How far is Middleton Stoney from London?
Middleton Stoney is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Middleton Stoney have asbestos?
If your home in Middleton Stoney was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
My sample contains asbestos. What now?
A positive result tells you the type of asbestos found. From there, we’ll talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you tell if it’s asbestos by looking?
Not reliably by eye: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Which option is right?
Testing first is cheaper than stopping work mid-job, when work has to stop and the area may need decontaminating. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
