Asbestos removal in Boxley
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and debris left from a previous job, we cover gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings.
In a village like Boxley, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

FAQs for Boxley
Could my house in Boxley contain asbestos?
If your home in Boxley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
