Asbestos removal for Wickham properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Common materials are cement soffits, flue pipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs.
Homes in Wickham with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Wickham
Do older homes in Wickham have asbestos?
Any home in Wickham 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.
Do you cover Wickham from London?
We cover Wickham, about 63 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Wickham?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What we deal with in Wickham
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old waste on site
- Loft water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
For non-domestic buildings like Wickham Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Before booking anyone
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether VAT is included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Options to consider in Wickham
