Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

How far is Tudeley Hale from London?

Is asbestos common in Tudeley Hale homes?

Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Can I take a sample myself?
HSE’s advice is that a competent person should take samples, as it means disturbing the material. Ask us to take it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
