Asbestos removal in Rowledge
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and garage roof sheets.
In Rowledge, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Typical removal jobs in Rowledge
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old flues
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In a school like Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Rowledge, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Step by step
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Rowledge by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Questions from Rowledge
Do you cover Rowledge and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 2 miles west of Rowledge, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
