Wigginton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Wigginton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Wigginton from London?
Wigginton is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in Wigginton?
Yes, Wigginton is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you do air testing?
Air testing is a different job from material testing, and not one we do: clearance testing after licensed removal is carried out by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst. Ask and we’ll explain.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
The scope of asbestos testing
The usual limits are:
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so it is not a substitute for a survey before major work
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Panels behind heaters
- Garage roof sheets
- Roof felt
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Bitumen adhesive
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles
- Flue pipes
- Soffit boards
Weighing up your options
How many samples? Each different material needs its own sample, and sometimes tiles and adhesive or coatings in different rooms need separate samples. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
