Asbestos survey in Rowner
Asbestos survey for Rowner properties
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Rowner must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and rented homes due for maintenance, involving flues, pipe lagging and water tanks.
In a smaller place like Rowner, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen

Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Looking after things afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.

Rowner: your questions answered
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 2.3 miles north of Rowner, and we cover both.
How far is Rowner from London?
We cover Rowner, about 66 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is a survey needed before building work in Rowner?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The process
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Getting ready
- Dig out previous surveys
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any damage before we arrive
