Asbestos removal for Rowly properties

Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. From broken sheets in gardens and Artex before plastering, we cover cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits.

Rural removal near Rowly can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Where asbestos turns up

Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may contain it.

These come up again and again:

  • Artex before plastering
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive
  • Finds during refurbishment
  • Cement water tanks in lofts

Landlords near Chilworth station often time removal for when a property is empty.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the job needs notifying
  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
  • Where the waste goes, with paperwork
  • Whether VAT is included

What to check before you book

After we have finished in Rowly

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

Once we’re done:

  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
  • Keep children and pets away on the day

Things not to do

Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

If you manage or own a block in Rowly, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Doing it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Questions from Rowly

How far is Rowly from London?

We cover Rowly, about 29 miles from central London.

Do you work near Chilworth station?

Yes, we cover Rowly and the area towards Chilworth station, about 3.9 miles north.

Do you give written quotes?

Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Can I stay at home during removal?

It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

What happens to the waste?

We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

How we work

At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In winter, the light goes in Rowly by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

  1. Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
  2. We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
  3. A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
  4. On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
  5. We clean the area and send the consignment note

Getting ready

  • Keep the area clear of children and pets
  • Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
  • Don’t disturb the material before we get there
