Asbestos help in Rowhook
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
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.
Asbestos survey near Rowhook
Plenty of older buildings, in Rowhook as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and public and community buildings, including pipe lagging, textured ceilings and flues.
Village houses like those in Rowhook have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Rowhook questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Rowhook?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Every main survey type

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once we are done:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
