About our asbestos survey in Boughton Aluph
Our surveys in Boughton Aluph cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical jobs include shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Boughton Aluph have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
After we have finished:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Why people call us in Boughton Aluph
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
In older properties, we often see:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Demolition and strip-out
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you have an older property in Boughton Aluph, near All Saints’ Church or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
Before you book anyone
- The number of samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What the report or result will contain
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Boughton Aluph
Do you cover Boughton Aluph and the area around Wye station?
Yes, we cover Boughton Aluph and the area towards Wye station, about 1 mile south-east.
Do you cover Boughton Aluph from London?
We cover Boughton Aluph, about 48 miles from central London.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
