For landlords, agents and businesses

If you run a business from older premises in Rowly, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Rowly: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Rowly?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Rowly from London?
We cover Rowly, about 29 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
