Asbestos survey near Rowledge
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Asbestos survey in Rowledge
Any building in Rowledge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. People often contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and common parts of flats and HMOs, including soffits, pipe lagging and water tanks.
Rural homes near Rowledge have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Rowledge
Is asbestos common in Rowledge homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Rowledge may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Rowledge?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is a survey needed before building work in Rowledge?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Rowledge?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
