- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof

Boughton Corner questions
Do you work near Wye station?
Yes. Wye station is about 0.8 miles south-east of Boughton Corner, and we cover both.
Could my house in Boughton Corner contain asbestos?
Any home in Boughton Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
- Material and condition
- Disposal costs
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
