FAQs for Wingham
Do you come out to small villages like Wingham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Wingham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wingham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Why people call us in Wingham
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
If your home is one of the older properties in Wingham, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Which option is right?
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Duty holders and landlords in Wingham
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
For managing agents and freeholders in Wingham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
