Asbestos removal in Rowly
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.

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