Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
You may find tiles under carpet or laminate; test before lifting them.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so it’s worth knowing.
Weighing up your options
Testing or a survey? A test covers particular materials; a survey covers everything in scope. For small jobs a test is often enough.
Questions to ask before booking
- The number of samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Looking after things afterwards
A positive result is not a reason to panic: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Do not touch it before we arrive
- Tell us what work you’re planning
- Photos of the material help us plan
Keep everyone away from damaged material, and do not sweep or vacuum up debris.
Until you have the result, don’t drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Common questions in GU21
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. We can take it for you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
