Services and guidance
Choose the route that fits the material and planned work
A survey, sample, removal plan or specialist referral may be appropriate. These pages explain the choices without promising a work category before the material and scope are known.
Garage roofs and outbuildings
Assessment and removal planning for suitable asbestos cement roofs, sheds and outbuildings, with any replacement scope set out separately.
Cement sheets and cladding
Practical guidance and suitable non-licensed work for asbestos cement sheets, cladding, soffits, fascias and gutters.
Floor tiles and textured coatings
Help with lower-risk materials such as vinyl floor tiles and textured coatings, after the material and method have been considered.
Surveys and sampling
Survey guidance and UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis where sampling is needed to confirm a suspected material.
Waste arrangements
Clear explanation of suitable packaging, waste arrangements and documentation for agreed non-licensed asbestos work.
Licensable work referrals
Higher-risk work is not undertaken by Diamond. It is referred to an HSE-licensed asbestos contractor.
A scope-led process
Clear decisions before work begins
Good asbestos decisions start with the question being asked: whether a material needs confirming, whether it can stay in place, or whether planned work could disturb it. The answer should follow the evidence, not a generic removal promise.
How it works
A straightforward route from concern to action
Discuss the material and work
Share the location, condition and planned work. If a visual check cannot answer the question, the appropriate survey or sample route is explained.
Confirm the work category
The material, condition and method determine whether non-licensed work is suitable or a licensed contractor is required.
Receive a clear scope
For suitable work, the proposed scope, access requirements and waste arrangements are set out before work is agreed.
Plan the next stage
Where replacement, surveys or specialist work are needed, the relevant next step is identified clearly rather than assumed.
Common questions
Asbestos, answered plainly
Do I have to remove asbestos if I find it?
Not always. Material in good condition and left undisturbed can often be managed in place. The right decision depends on the material, its condition, its location and any planned work.
Can you confirm asbestos by looking at it?
No. Age, location and appearance can raise a concern, but they cannot confirm asbestos. Where confirmation is needed, a competent sampling route and laboratory analysis should be used.
What asbestos work does Diamond handle?
Diamond handles suitable non-licensed asbestos work. Higher-risk materials and work that require an HSE licence are referred to an HSE-licensed asbestos contractor.
What should I do if suspected asbestos is damaged?
Stop the task, keep people away where practical and do not sweep, drill, cut or take a sample yourself. Get competent advice on the material and work category before work resumes.
