A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Other materials may need their own approach

Upper Wellingham questions
Do older homes in Upper Wellingham have asbestos?
Any home in Upper Wellingham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Wellingham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

For businesses and landlords in Upper Wellingham

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The process
Our team wears protective equipment, and keep the room closed while we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
