Common questions in Wickhambreaux
How far is Wickhambreaux from London?
Wickhambreaux is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Wickhambreaux?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. 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?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in Wickhambreaux
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
What we deal with in Wickhambreaux
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you’re a landlord near Bekesbourne station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
