FAQs for Boyatt Wood
Is asbestos common in Boyatt Wood homes?
Any home in Boyatt Wood 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.
Do you cover Boyatt Wood from London?
We cover Boyatt Wood, about 65 miles from central London.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Boyatt Wood, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Boyatt Wood

What else we do in Boyatt Wood
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Once we are done:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Photos help us quote
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep the results and paperwork
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
