Need an asbestos survey in Wingham Green?
What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Asbestos survey for Wingham Green properties
Our surveys in Wingham Green cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Common materials are garage roofs, flues and soffits, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and surveys requested by builders before work.

Common questions in Wingham Green
Do you cover small places like Wingham Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Wingham Green and the area around Adisham station?
Yes, we cover Wingham Green and the area towards Adisham station, about 1.9 miles south.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
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, which is why it’s identified before work.
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After we have finished:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
