Your questions about asbestos removal in Boughton Aluph
Do older homes in Boughton Aluph have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Boughton Aluph can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Boughton Aluph?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Boughton Aluph?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Typical removal jobs in Boughton Aluph
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Boughton Aluph:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos garages
- Old flues
- Textured coatings
For non-domestic buildings like Wye School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
