Duty holders and landlords in Rotherwick
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in Rotherwick, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
About our asbestos testing in Rotherwick
If something has been damaged during work in Rotherwick, stop first. Testing a sample tells you what you are dealing with. Whether it’s floor tiles and black adhesive and lab results for contractors before they start, we deal with soffit boards, panels behind heaters and flue pipes and more.
In a village like Rotherwick, we test materials on barns, stables and outbuildings as well as homes, since cement sheeting was widely used. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Good to know
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it does not:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- We can’t confirm asbestos from a picture; only a lab can
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Garage roof sheets
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen adhesive
- Roof felt
- Soffit boards
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Panels behind heaters
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
- How many different materials need sampling
- The building’s size and layout
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What we deal with in Rotherwick

- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Results builders ask for before work
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- One-off checks in rented property
If you work at a school like Whitewater Church of England Primary School, ask the duty holder about the asbestos register.

Questions from Rotherwick
Do you cover Rotherwick and the area around Hook station?

Do you come out to small villages like Rotherwick?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Do you do air testing?
Air testing for clearance is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. We’ll tell you whether you need it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What happens if the test is positive?
We’ll explain your options, which depend on the material, its condition and your plans: leave it, cover it or have it removed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
