Asbestos testing for Wingham Green properties
Sampling is done carefully: we wet the area, take a small piece, bag it and seal the sample point. It’s safer than DIY sampling. Whether it’s boiler cupboard panels and garage and shed roofs before removal or repair, we cover soffit boards, flue pipes and textured ceilings and more.
In towns and villages like Wingham Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, since cement sheeting was widely used. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Photos can’t confirm asbestos; only a lab can
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured ceilings
- Garage roof sheets
- Panels behind heaters
- Pipe lagging
- Soffit boards
- Roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen adhesive
- Floor tiles
Materials we deal with
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Old tiles and black adhesive can be tested separately, because results can differ.
Common reasons for tests in Wingham Green
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, since sampling disturbs the material.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Debris found after DIY
- Soffit boards
- Results builders ask for before work
- Checks before maintenance in rented homes
For older homes anywhere in Wingham Green, from near St Mary's Church outwards, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

What happens next
We seal the sample point when sampling, so it’s safe while you wait.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Tell us what work you are planning
What to avoid
Please don’t take your own sample.
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Should all asbestos be removed?

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
