Asbestos removal in Rowfant
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s old floor tiles and black adhesive and cement flues and gutters, we cover gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and flue pipes and more.
Rural removal near Rowfant can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Yes. Three Bridges station is about 2.6 miles west of Rowfant, and we cover both.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.

At a school such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in Rowfant, near All Saints Parish Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. Parts of the High Weald National Landscape are within about 7 miles of Rowfant; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Options to consider in Rowfant
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
- 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
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
