Asbestos removal in Wennington
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and debris left from a previous job, including textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes.
Removal jobs around Wennington often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How fibres will be kept down
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Wennington: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Wennington homes?
If your home in Wennington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Rainham (Essex) station?
Yes. Rainham (Essex) station is about 1.4 miles north-west of Wennington, and we cover both.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
