Asbestos removal in Rowhook
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with cement soffits, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are asbestos garages and old flues.
In a village like Rowhook, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Rowhook
Do you cover small places like Rowhook?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Rowhook and the area around Warnham station?
Yes. Warnham station is about 3 miles east of Rowhook, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you cover Rowhook?
Yes, Rowhook is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
