FAQs for Wickham Heath
Do you cover small places like Wickham Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Wickham Heath from London?
Wickham Heath is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
