FAQs for Boughton Corner
Do you cover Boughton Corner and the area around Wye station?
Yes. Wye station is about 0.8 miles south-east of Boughton Corner, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Asbestos removal for Boughton Corner properties
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence.

We often deal with cement roof sheets, flue pipes and textured coatings, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and garage roof sheets.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Broken sheets in gardens
In a school like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
