Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement

Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Boughton Lees: your questions answered
Do you work near Wye station?
Yes, we cover Boughton Lees and the area towards Wye station, about 1.4 miles east.
Do you cover small places like Boughton Lees?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled 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 contact us for advice on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
