DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Looking after things afterwards
Each sample gets a written result, showing whether asbestos was found and the type.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know what you want to do next
- Leave the material undisturbed until we’ve sampled it
- Test everything you are worried about at once
- Photos of the material help us plan
Avoid these
Photos are helpful, as long as you do not disturb anything.
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.

FAQs for Murrell Green
Do you work near Winchfield station?
Yes, we cover Murrell Green and the area towards Winchfield station, about 1.3 miles east.
Could my house in Murrell Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Murrell Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
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.
How do I know if a material in Murrell Green contains asbestos?
Not by looking: a sample has to be analysed in a laboratory. We take the sample safely and send it to an accredited lab.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
