Wingham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Wingham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Wingham have asbestos?
Any home in Wingham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What affects the price in Wingham
Every quote reflects:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A photo of the whole area
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s included, and what is not
Before booking, note that:

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Wingham were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
