Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us

- Clear written quotes

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Common questions in Rew Street
Do you cover small places like Rew Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Rew Street contain asbestos?
Any home in Rew Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
