Asbestos survey for Rowley Green properties
About to refurbish in Rowley Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. We often deal with flues, textured ceilings and water tanks, and typical jobs are demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and community buildings and halls.
In areas like Rowley Green, many surveys are for flats, conversions and buildings with shops below, so it matters who is responsible for which parts. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
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.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging

Common questions in Rowley Green
Can you work in Rowley Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work near Elstree & Borehamwood station?
Yes, we cover Rowley Green and the area towards Elstree & Borehamwood station, about 1.4 miles west.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
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, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- How many samples are needed
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How many different materials need sampling
- The quantity or area
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
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.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
What happens
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
