What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Share any survey or test results
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
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 are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wouldham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Wouldham
Could my house in Wouldham contain asbestos?
Any home in Wouldham 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.
How far is Wouldham from London?
Wouldham is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Wouldham?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
