Milton Keynes questions
Could my house in Milton Keynes contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Milton Keynes from London?
We cover Milton Keynes, about 47 miles from central London.
Do you work in Milton Keynes?
We do: Milton Keynes is within the area we cover in Milton Keynes. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Why people call us in Milton Keynes
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Milton Keynes still have them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages being knocked down
Around Lodge Lake, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether VAT is included
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Where we could park

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
