Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Wouldham questions
Do you cover Wouldham from London?
Wouldham is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Wouldham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
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.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.

What else we do in Wouldham
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
After we’ve finished in Wouldham
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Test before the builders arrive.
Your options compared
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

What we deal with in Wouldham
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
If your home is one of the older properties in Wouldham, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
